I aspire to see people in their fullness, and I care deeply about forming authentic, trusting therapeutic relationships grounded in collaboration, self-determination, and respect.

I am a clinical social worker committed to relational, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, harm-reductionist, and arts-based approaches to mental health care.

My clinical work has included individual psychotherapy, psychological evaluation, interdisciplinary care coordination, brief assessment and triage, safety assessment, and connecting people with meaningful community-based resources. I have training and experience in hospital outpatient psychiatry, psychiatric rehabilitation, community mental health, and geriatric psychiatry research. My varied clinical interests include working with people in their 20s and 30s, people experiencing challenges with substance use or addiction, people experiencing somatic symptoms, and people navigating retirement or time away from work or school.

I have also worked in higher education student support and communications, supporting students navigating academic, psychosocial, and mental and physical health concerns and managing written and visual digital content across programs. My background as an artist and educator continues to inform my perspective, particularly my interest in facilitating arts-based participatory research, community-engaged public art, arts-based therapy groups and therapeutic workshops, and public art projects that promote community connection and thriving. I also maintain a personal multidisciplinary art practice in drawing, painting, textiles, and sculpture, and have exhibited and participated in exhibitions and residencies internationally.
