My own healing journey as a foster child and adoptee, has given me the determination to discover traditional psychology and other healing modalities to create peace within myself. 

Using Somatic Awareness and other practices such as: Yoga, Dance, and Meditation have given me the depth and healing I was seeking. Being in nature is where I use all my senses, come alive, and feel my connection to the harmony and cycle of life. Formal meditation practices has played a valuable role in my healing and spiritual development as a person and practitioner.

After obtaining my M.A. in Psychology with an emphasis on Art Therapy, I put my passion into practice. I applied my education within school and residential environments with children and adults alike with different cultural, social-economic, and educational backgrounds.

As a result of my education and rich professional and personal experiences, I have acquired a deep respect for each person’s healing journey, challenges, and unique needs. I look forward to empowering you in your healing and to designing a therapeutic alliance that promotes what wellness looks like for you.
