I am passionate about empowering individuals and families through therapy and creative expression. I am deeply committed to advocating for clients and supporting them through life’s challenges, especially during periods of transition or uncertainty. I believe in the power of connection, understanding, and creativity to foster healing, strengthen relationships, and support meaningful change.

I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to my work, focusing on the strengths and resources of each individual. I create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their emotions and experiences, using both traditional therapeutic techniques and creative, art-based methods to facilitate communication and healing. My background working with families in high-risk environments has given me a deep understanding of complex family dynamics and the tools to foster resilience and growth in clients of all ages.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapy Candidate and a graduate of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California, where I earned a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy with an emphasis in Clinical Art Therapy. I have eight years of experience as an educator and twenty-three years of experience working in Mesa County as a case worker and therapist supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families.

I specialize in family therapy and clinical art therapy, working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating complex family dynamics. My work focuses on strengthening communication, emotional expression, resilience, and healthy relationships, particularly in high-risk or highly stressful environments.
