I am a mental health and addiction counselor who has experienced the impact of mental health issues on myself, my family, my friends, and my community. I understand the importance of a safe, nonjudgmental space for exploration, introspection, and healing. I specialize in supporting adolescents and adults through their journeys of self-discovery and fostering self-esteem and confidence. With a strong interest in the intersection of neuroscience and mental health, I help clients navigate emotional and psychological challenges through a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection.
Who We Are
Treatment Approach
My approach combines the integration of creative modalities with traditional theoretical frameworks to offer clients a comprehensive, multifaceted approach to addressing challenges. By incorporating techniques such as Art, Play, and SandPlay, I aim to engage both hemispheres of the brain to empower healing and growth.
