"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou
I’ve worked with a variety of people through art therapy – children with disabilities and mental health needs as well as some work with veterans and the elderly. As an art therapist, I embrace the art process and person-centered therapy approach, embracing the whole person and their strengths, and creating a safe space for them to shine.

My passion for helping others started when I was young. Being a child or teen is hard enough, but to feel unaccepted for who you are is even harder. Courage, family, a few strong high school friendships and my love of art-making helped me rise above. It was a long journey but I eventually learned to embrace who I was and chose self-love — now I try to pay that forward by helping others embrace who they are. Everyone deserves love and acceptance, and that is my drive for working with children and teens.
Compassion for others and creativity have been two constant forces in my life. It wasn’t until I pursued a career in art therapy that I realized my passions could combine to make a difference in the lives of others.
