The Artisan Counseling Team

“We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realize.”
– Thich Nhat Hahn

I’m glad you’re here and taking steps to navigate this challenging time! I believe you are doing the best you can, even if it may not feel like enough right now—and that’s why I’m here. My goal is to support you in exploring patterns, setting goals, and building skills to promote growth and embrace the potential for change. 

I hold a Master of Science degree in Art Therapy and Counseling from Eastern Virginia Medical School and am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC), and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC). With over 10 years of experience in diverse clinical settings—including inpatient and outpatient mental health programs, substance use treatment, and domestic violence shelters—I am skilled in addressing a range of mental health needs. 

Currently, I focus on helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma. I especially enjoy working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and emerging adults, using a creative and mindfulness-based approach grounded in CBT, humanistic, and person-centered theories. I believe humor, empathy, and understanding are key to the therapeutic process. 

Outside of work, I enjoy creating art, spending time with my dogs, running, gardening, and relaxing around a bonfire.
