My Commitment to Ethics
In my practice, I create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions through a combination of psychotherapy (talk therapy), narrative therapy, and art therapy. Whether we’re talking through your experiences or using creative expression to explore feelings that are hard to put into words, I’m here to help guide your healing journey. These approaches work together to help you process emotions, reshape your personal narrative, and find new perspectives on your life.
I’m dedicated to ensuring that every step of this process respects your autonomy, protects your privacy, and keeps you fully informed. The ethical guidelines I follow are in place to help you feel comfortable, safe, and empowered as we work together.

My personal healing journey is at the heart of everything I do as a therapist. I understand the challenges of unlearning old habits and facing inherited patterns. This inner work has deepened my empathy and shaped the way I support my clients.
Creativity is woven into everything I do, and I’m passionate about sharing these approaches to help you experience the transformative power of art as an outlet for self-expression and revitalization.
