Experience

I've had the privilege of working in a multitude of settings, providing support to individuals of all ages and backgrounds. This diverse experience has allowed me to develop a deep appreciation and awareness of the multifaceted nature of human life. I bring expertise in the Open Studio Process, an art-making approach that integrates journaling, self-reflection, and creativity through intention setting and reflective witness writing. My training in sex therapy equips me to address a wide range sexual related issues such as intimacy issues, desire discrepancies, and more. My practice is centered on serving individuals and couples, utilizing expressive art and art-making as my primary healing modality.
