About My Clients

I am passionate about working with neurodivergent communities—and have a special place in my heart for highly sensitive people, as well as for those of us considered “gifted”. I really get intensity and emotional sensitivity, and understand the blessings and burdens that come with diverse ways of seeing the world. I also have a deep love for working with LGBTQ+ clients, and provide gender-affirming care for trans and nonbinary individuals.

My Background and Approach

As a therapist, my priority is helping you build a life beyond your wildest dreams. I am dedicated to meeting you where you’re at, and supporting you in carving out your own unique path towards healing and self-actualization. I believe everyone has the capacity to flourish, and I aim to create space for my clients to explore what wellness looks like for them. I work with children, teens, adults, families, and couples, providing both individual and group therapy. I am primarily a drama therapist specializing in creative play, but also provide straightforward talk therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Why Drama Therapy? Play is an important part of life! As children, we understand the world around us through play, and as adults, we make sense of our lives through the stories we tell ourselves and the roles we see ourselves playing. Drama therapy utilizes a range of embodied techniques to help clients reclaim their narrative, explore new roles, and tap into their creative energy. By engaging in creative play, we can develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and hone the skills we need to improve our lives.
