I'm interested in how the world around us shapes our ability to embrace the fullest versions of ourselves. I understand external constraints and internal tensions can create a sense of stuckness. This can often be tied to feeling 'other' - ‘other’ in the experience of sexuality, gender, body type, religion, race, socioeconomic background.

How does one embrace all parts of oneself? Not only the parts we like, but the parts we have been told should be extinguished?

I work with teens, young people and adults. I believe the people I work with possess the knowledge to help themselves, but too often, something gets in the way. I see my role as a way to foster curiosity about what that 'something' might be.

My background in art informs the way I work with each unique person. I utilize creativity to evoke colorful stories, memories, fantasies, and feelings that may otherwise lay dormant. I see creativity as a powerful tool to unlocking greater freedom.
