About Us

---

Hello! I am an art therapist and licensed professional counselor invested in supporting marginalized individuals as they journey toward wellness, healing, and growth. I create a space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to develop tools to navigate your unique situations.

The cornerstone of my practice combines creativity with counseling interventions. I use the creative process to help individuals access underlying feelings, communicate thoughts, and process difficult emotions. Through hands-on exploration, art-making allows for reflection and stress reduction. Art materials and techniques are tailored to your specific needs and concerns.

I am passionate about working with individuals who are:

• New to therapy
• Navigating difficult life experiences while pursuing education, whether high school, college, or graduate level.
• Having challenges verbalizing complex thoughts and experiences
• Experiencing depression and anxiety

I obtained my Master's of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I use a combination of trauma-informed, person-centered care, Gestalt theory , and narrative therapy as guidance in my practice. I view therapy as a collaborative process where we'll use creativity to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions. I understand that reaching out for help is not easy. My goal is to ensure you feel supported at every step of the process.
