“I seek to understand each person’s background and history and how they are impacted by their environment. My approach is tailored to meet them where they are at. I support patients by providing verbal and non-verbal (art based) methods, a trauma-informed lens, and psychoeducation.

Art is an important part of my own wellness practice. Regular exercise, yoga, quality sleep, supportive nutrition and positive relationships help me take care of my health. I ask for support when I need it.”
