My Intention
I am here to provide a unique one to one experience, utilizing clinical, and non-traditional methods of healing. I strive to hold a safe and creative space for individuals to grow on their mental health journey. I am here to assist you on the path to living an intentional, joyful and well-rested life!
About me

I offer out-of-pocket options. Ask me about the sliding scale I offer!
I use Tarot and Astrology as spiritual tools, to aid in healing. This helps open individuals up to bigger possibilities--outside of therapy.
What I Offer
Sessions with me consist of a combination of talk and art psychotherapy.
(I also incorporate non-traditional methods--per request.)
And here is a secret...YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE AN ARTIST TO PARTICIPATE! Our sessions do not always have to involve art making either, these are YOUR sessions and I am here to follow your lead.
Anxiety & Depression Management
Burnout Prevention & Recovery
Support for survivors of family violence.
Assistance on intentional self-care practices.
