I’m a graduate therapist intern and artist currently pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy at Antioch University. My path to therapy has been shaped by years of creative work with myself and others, as a tattoo artist, art educator, and residential counselor. In these spaces I witnessed how art and connection can support healing and self discovery.

I bring a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, with respect for each person’s lived experience. My work integrates art therapy, Gestalt, existential, attachment-based, and narrative approaches, along with Internal Family Systems (parts work) and somatic awareness. I believe healing happens within the relationships with ourselves, others, and our environments.

I’m passionate about supporting people navigating identity exploration, emotional overwhelm, creative processes, and the impacts of trauma. I am naturally a curious person, and that doesn’t change in my therapist role. Art therapy doesn’t require you to identify as an artist; all it takes is a willingness to be curious and explore creatively.

Outside of my therapist mode, I’m usually making something. This includes tattoos, engraving mirrors, or drawing. I also deeply enjoy traveling and spending time in nature. As a creative myself, I understand how important art making can be for understanding yourself and I am excited to facilitate that for you.
