Ages & Typical Clients: Children (5+), Teens, & Young Adults

Specialty Areas:
I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults facing:

• Anxiety & depression

• Self-esteem & identity exploration

• School & peer relationship struggles

• Emotional regulation & life transitions

• Grief & Bereavement

Art therapy allows clients to explore their emotions and experiences in a way that feels natural, creative, and empowering.

What It’s Like to Work With Me:
Art therapy with me is a space for genuine self-discovery. It's not about artistic talent; it's about how creativity can help you explore your identity and personal narrative. We'll use art as a dynamic way to process emotions, uncover strengths, and gain deeper insight into what truly works for you.

My commitment is to provide a warm, open, and non-judgmental environment, built on a person-centered approach, where all parts of who you are are welcome to express themselves freely. Together, we'll navigate your experiences and empower you to cultivate the resources that genuinely support your well-being.
