Have you been searching for someone who will listen and support you or your child without judgment? Look no further! I am here to help. I have over 20 years of experience working with very young and elementary aged children, teenagers, young adults, as well as middle aged and older adults. I have experience in outpatient settings, in the schools, and in a partial hospitalization program as well. All of these experiences have given me insight into the many modalities of treatment. I also offer in home/school services as I am passionate about being the bridge between clients and their communities to provide the best care possible. I use many types of treatment-CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) being my specialties. They involve replacing negative thoughts with more positive ones as well as exploring emotional regulation strategies. Together we can work on strategies to address you or your child’s needs and get to the root of the cause. To create a positive therapeutic relationship with my clients I offer a safe, open, and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel comfortable. Building trust, respect, and compatibility are key. So now is your chance to go ahead and take the next step in you or your child’s mental health. I look forward to getting you started on your journey!

I'm a Registered Art Therapist with a master's degree in Art Therapy from Wayne State University. I have spent more than 10 years working as a medical art therapist, with a special focus on oncology. Throughout my career, I've supported people navigating cancer and illness, grief and loss, major life transitions, changes in identity, and questions about what comes next. My work has also extended beyond the hospital walls. I've helped create community spaces where people could come together through art, process difficult experiences, and find connection and hope. These experiences continue to remind me that creativity can offer a meaningful way to explore emotions when words aren't enough. I believe healing isn't always about finding the right answers. Sometimes it's about finding a little steadiness in the middle of uncertainty and creating space to process what you're carrying. As an art therapist, I believe creativity can offer another way into the therapeutic process. You don't have to be an artist or know exactly what you want to say. Sometimes a color, image, or creative experience can help express something words cannot quite reach. Whether you're navigating illness, grief, pain, uncertainty, or a season of change, you don't have to figure everything out at once. We can start where you are.

For the last 6 years, I have come alongside those who have experienced trauma, anxious & depressive symptoms, mood disorders, have attachment & identity struggles, self-harming behaviors, or suicidal ideation. I count it one of my greatest joys to hold space for others as they sit with their past, navigate their present, & dream of what their future could be. My approach is Trauma Informed both from a place of personal & professional experience; focusing on body awareness, regulation, & tapping into individual strengths; providing hope as we navigate life together. I believe that everyone has a story to be heard & should have a safe place to share it. I'm passionate about meeting people exactly where they are; however they show up in this world. I stand firm in the belief that hope & transformation are available; no matter what life has thrown your way.
