I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Yoga Instructor with a certificate in Expressive Arts Therapy. I utilize a strengths-based, client-centered and trauma-informed approach and am a Nationally Certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) provider.

I am passionate about healing through the expressive arts and incorporate many elements of this into the therapy process including play therapy, drama therapy, music, writing, visual art, movement, clay, and sand tray as well as more traditional therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems, and Somatic approaches including Sensorimotor Therapy, yoga, mindfulness, visualization, and relaxation. My favorite art medium is collage, visual journaling, and mixed media.

I specialize in working with children aged 10 and up, teens, and young adults and am experienced in working with: stress, trauma & PTSD, anger, anxiety, depression, ADHD, gender/identity concerns, grief/loss, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

My ideal client is looking for an alternative approach to therapy and is open to creative, somatic and holistic healing methods such as Expressive Arts, yoga, and intuitive approaches. In my free time, I enjoy singing and writing music, playing guitar, practicing yoga, creating art, fashion and beauty, and traveling to new places. I look forward to meeting with you and seeing what we can create together!
