My journey into the mental health field began with my own healing through creating art and writing poetry. In 2005, I sought out education in the psychology and arts field, which taught me how to support others in exploring their own wellness and facilitate healing through art making and talk therapy. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Art Therapist, that currently provides virtual sessions throughout California.

My clinical work has been focused on supporting clients that are experiencing depression, anxiety, traumatic events, and stressors in their professional or personal relationships. As a therapist I utilize humor and authenticity to build rapport and establish a safe space to explore what wellness looks like for each client. I enjoy supporting people of all ages, and specialize in working with adolescents and adults. My approach to therapy includes use of evidence-based models such as CBT, TF-CBT, and Art Therapy. Theoretically, I am a humanistic and Gestalt based therapist.

When I’m not providing support to others, I enjoy creating my own art, cooking, gardening, and being with my family.
