I specialize in supporting clients from the artistic community and anyone seeking a safe, non-judgmental space to express and process emotions. I believe an effective therapeutic relationship begins with connection and trust. My approach is eclectic, using evidence-based modalities tailored to each client’s goals. Through my experience in the performing arts, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the body-mind connection and the unique challenges creatives may face.
