From a young age I had always enjoyed engaging in the art making process as a tool for emotional regulation and release. I also always had a passion for understanding the human mind and behaviors through the field of psychology. When I learned about Art Therapy as a profession, I immediately knew it was the perfect path for me.

My healing journey truly began when I was in grad school to become an Art Therapist. In that process, I learned the importance of self care, how to support individuals as they uncovered their past trauma, understanding emotions and ways of coping with experienced anxiety.

While practicing as an art therapist, I quickly noticed the importance of working with the body as a way to help others heal, better understand themselves and cope with their presenting problems. This lead me to obtain certification in integrative somatic trauma therapy which I now implement in the use of Somatic Healing.

I now use both of these modalities, Art Therapy and Somatic Healing to help others heal and cope with anxiety, trauma and low self-esteem to become their best selves and find more self love.
