My primary focus is to offer an open, accepting and safe environment allowing for varied approaches to treatment based on a person’s needs. As a clinician, I value building a strong therapeutic relationship and believe in a client-centered, strengths-based, feminist approach where feedback, communication and collaboration are integral to the process.
I am a licensed mental health counselor and registered art therapist. I have worked with people of all ages including multicultural and underserved populations, at-risk youth and communities, and have focused experience with trauma and anxiety-related disorders, severe mental illness, grief and loss, and substance use. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and utilize mindfulness, expressive therapies, play therapy, and sand tray.
I have a B.S. in Art Therapy and an M.A. in Expressive Therapies, with a specialization in Mental Health Counseling.
