I want the clients I work alongside to know, right from the start, that the ways they move through the world carry deep wisdom. So often, healing begins not with something new, but with honoring what’s already present: the quiet signals of the body, the shapes of expression, the truths we carry even when they’re hard to name.

My work is shaped by both lived and learned experience. I aim to offer a space where meaningful change can take root, not through pushing or fixing, but through steady, client-led connection. I believe that relationship itself can be healing, especially in a world that so often fails to listen. In the room with me, we will build an alliance together, one that allows for imagination, presence, and truth to emerge on their own terms. These are not just tools for growth, but forms of resistance and repair.

Training and Education

I am currently pursuing a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Expressive Arts Therapy at Lesley University. I also hold bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music from the Peabody Conservatory, where I learned to listen closely to the unsaid, a practice that continues to inform my work as a therapist. I came to this work through the presence of people who knew how to stay attentive, creative, and consistent. From them, I learned that connection creates the conditions where healing becomes possible.

Therapeutic Approach

My work is grounded in both expressive arts therapy and clinical mental health counseling approaches. I draw from image, sound, movement, story, and ritual to support expression that may be difficult to access through words alone, while also honoring the role of conversation in meaning-making and connection. Together, we will find new ways to explore, letting creativity and relationship guide the process as it unfolds in your own time. My approach is trauma-informed, and I care about the ways power and oppression impact people’s lives. I often contemplate the effects of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, classism, ableism, ageism, adultism, religious oppression, and military status.

I welcome clients navigating complex intersections of identity, whether or not those identities overlap with my own, and I honor the many forms relationships and families can take. Together we might notice how trauma can ripple through generations and discover your unique path to healing. Through creative process and attuned relationship, I aim to support not just survival but reclamation of voice, agency, and connection.

Most importantly, I’m here to play, create, and go on adventures together with you.
