I earned dual Master's degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy from Adler University. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotion regulation. I believe meaningful therapy begins with understanding the individual rather than selecting an intervention.
Drawing on my background in clinical research, I view mental health as part of a dynamic system shaped by physical health, emotions, relationships, environment, culture, creativity, work, values, and daily habits. Rather than relying on a single therapeutic model, I tailor each session to the unique needs, goals, strengths, and lived experiences of each client.
My work integrates evidence-based approaches with expressive arts, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and curiosity -- helping clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, not just their symptoms. Whether through conversation, art-making, or exploring patterns that may no longer serve them, I help clients build greater self-awareness, flexibility, and confidence in creating lives that feel authentic, connected, and meaningful.
