My Background and Education

My Background and Education

My path to art therapy is rooted in a lifelong commitment to inclusion, creativity, and equity. With over 20 years in education, I’ve supported children, families, and educators while advocating for responsive, inclusive learning environments; experiences that continue to shape my therapeutic work.

I approach each client with respect, curiosity, and a belief in your innate capacity for healing. Together, we create a space where your creativity and voice lead the way.

Drawing from Feminist Studies, Psychology, Education, and Art Therapy, my practice blends critical thinking with creative exploration, centered on care, agency, and connection.
