I believe knowing yourself and being able to make meaning of your experience is a major goal of therapy.

I have a Masters in Drama Therapy, BFA in Drama and a Minor in Psychology. In addition to psychotherapy and counseling education, my professional training includes dance, theater, film acting, and production.

While I have a fondness for drama and the arts, ultimately, I pursued an education in therapy because I have a passion for self-expression.

Creativity helps you articulate your thoughts and feelings, and I think my personal interest in drama has helped me develop methods to successfully facilitate self-understanding. It has given me unique and compelling tools that allow the process to work.

I work with clients of all ages with a wide spectrum of symptoms and experiences including depression, anxiety, identity nonconformity, life transitions, and relational difficulties.

I am here to help you get to know yourself better through nonjudgmental curiosity, creative self-expression, and authentic connection.

Much of my work has been focused within the LGBTQIA+ community. This work has taught me that trauma abounds, and that healing requires focus on a person’s strengths honoring their various cultural identities.

Thus, in my work, I help clients recognize what they have to offer themselves while also helping individuals clarify their identities, goals, and abilities to navigate relationships.

I am interested in getting to know you as a whole person. I consider my approach to be strengths-based and person-centered, meaning that you, your history, and your needs will be at the core of our work together.

I deeply believe that our struggles and our strengths are often two sides of the same coin. Our work together will be tailored to you as a unique individual and may look like a blend of talk therapy and drama therapy, based on your comfort level and interest. My hope is that I can help guide you to an enhanced understanding of who you are, how you want to walk through your life, and what it looks like to be true to yourself.
