I am a licensed professional counselor and art therapist. I am a psychotherapist, solution-focused, person-centered, and mindful. I use a heart-centered approach and at times may use art and imagination in working with you. I look forward to working together to create a plan in order to reach your goal(s). By asking questions about what they would like to accomplish. Then providing or suggesting several options that are specific to their needs. I may suggest homework, worksheets, journaling, or art. Finally, work together to find the best solution and work on the most important goal first.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing your best to hold everything together, yet inside you feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or misunderstood? Maybe you overthink, shut down, react before you have time to process, or find yourself repeating patterns you know are no longer serving you. Anxiety, depression, intense emotions, difficult relationships, and life transitions can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and unsure of how to move forward. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin finding a healthier way forward.
