About me

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master of Arts degree in Psychology, with specialized education in Art Therapy, from Antioch University. I have experience both in community mental health and private practice in a variety of settings, and have been serving
a wide range of clients for over ten years.  I also have a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design, and
​am now enjoying my second career, interweaving my love of all things creative into my practice. 
​I enjoy serving a diverse population, and have worked with individuals, couples, and groups with various diagnoses, including depression, loss and grief, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and other anxiety-related disorders.

therapy approach

My therapeutic perspective includes working in a psychodynamic framework with an existential influence. To me, this means to help my clients work in-depth through their past while being present in the here and now, and helping them realize their potential to live a more authentic
​and meaningful life.

Along with this, my role is to help facilitate healing through the use of therapeutic tools that are appropriate and unique to the individual. I enjoy working with individuals and couples — and meeting each situation from a place of curiosity to determine the very best approach.  I may interweave art into our work from time to time when it becomes evident that this will be helpful in your healing.  I look forward to exploring your unique story.
