About Me

I'm an innovative art therapist specializing in watercolor painting, dedicated to working with adults, kids, teenagers, and families to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. My person-centered approach values collaboration, empathy, and creativity, and I collaborate with other mental health professionals to provide comprehensive care.

​

I graduated from the University of Missouri in May 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, minoring in Art and Human Development and Family Sciences. In May 2022, I earned my master's degree in Art Therapy and Counseling from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I obtained my LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in May 2023 and my ATR (Registered Art Therapist) in May 2024. Since then, I have been working as a clinician in private practice.

​

Growing up in Downers Grove, a Chicago suburb, I discovered my passion for art therapy while attending Downers Grove North High School. As a lifelong painter and illustrator, I love to incorporate creative expression into my therapy sessions. Additionally, I offer custom paintings, dog portraits, and other forms of artistic expression. Feel free to contact me for more information!
