Nice to meet you
I have a passion for helping clients of all ages feel seen, heard, and valued as they express themselves—verbally, visually, or both. I value the therapeutic relationship and approach each session with gentleness, engagement, and encouragement. Before joining a group private practice, I led an art therapy group for youth at a community rescue mission and worked with older adults in various stages of dementia at an adult day care center. I’ve experienced the power of meaningful relationships across generations and desire the same for you.
