Art Therapist, MS, LPC, ATR, CCTP, CMHIMP
Last Updated 30+ days ago

I'm not your typical therapist. I'm a real person, free from judgement, & genuinely care about your progress. I am creative & passionate in my personal & professional life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Art Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, & Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider. I believe in bringing a creative approach to all aspects of life. Art therapy allows me to bridge the gap for those that struggle with verbal expression by offering an alternate form of communication and self-expression to ensure a positive therapeutic experience.

My counseling style is warm and inviting. I work with you to help identify your goals and encourage you to make therapy your own. Each therapeutic journey is personalized and unique to your needs. Areas of experience include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, impulse control disorders, self-harm, parenting skills, trauma, and grief.

I am accepting of all populations to include LGBTQ-PIA+, BDSM/kink, poly/consensual non monogamy, paganism/spirituality, etc. I want to help you discover who you are and everything you can become. I want to help you create a life fueled by creativity & passion as well as find a side of life and yourself that you love. Email is the best way to contact me.
