I’ve been in therapy for most of my life. As a kid with a Tourette’s Syndrome diagnosis, I was lucky enough to work with an art therapist who helped me feel seen and understood. That experience shaped everything that followed.

I double majored in art and psychology in college, moved from California to New York, and earned my Master’s in Art Therapy from NYU in 2009. I’m a contributing author to The Business of Art Therapy: Navigating Career Paths, Creativity and the Changing Landscape of the Field and am dedicated to expanding the field of Art Therapy.

I’ve been in private practice since 2020. I work with adults and teens navigating anxiety, ADHD, identity, perfectionism, trauma, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients have low support needs but feel exhausted from years of trying to live up to expectations that never quite fit.

Social influence and external judgment can have a big impact on our lives. I love supporting people who are starting to question the roles they’ve been playing.

Oftentimes, this can feel like a spiral. Difficult to slow down or escape from. Therapy can assist to find your path out of this spiral and towards your chosen goals.

Clients often describe me as approachable, curious, and willing to call things out when needed. I don’t believe in being a blank slate. I bring my humanity into the room.

We might be a great fit if you think differently, feel deeply, and want to express yourself creatively.
