About Me

​

I’m an artist and art therapist based in Oregon, where I live with my daughter and spouse. As a therapist, I bring my whole heart into the work I do. I truly care about the people I work with, and I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered through the healing process of art and connection.

​

Outside of my professional life, I’m someone who values authenticity, humor, and deep relationships. I love spending time with close friends and chosen family, whether it’s sharing a laugh, hiking through forested trails, or breathing in the salty air of the Oregon coast. When I get a quiet moment to myself, you’ll likely find me curled up with a romantic-fantasy novel.

​

Above all, I believe in showing up as my genuine self—in life, in therapy, and in art.
