My Approach
I approach therapy from a human- first and relational perspective, prioritizing connection, safety, and understanding in every session. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, tailored to your unique needs, goals, and comfort level.
Art Therapy
Art therapy can look similar to traditional talk therapy, but it offers a creative and experiential way to explore thoughts, emotions, and goals. A typical session involves guided artmaking in the presence of a credentialed Art Therapist who has the clinical training to help you navigate your needs safely and effectively.
One of the most common concerns I hear when introducing art therapy is about artistic ability or talent. You do not need any previous experience or skill in art—no drawing, painting, or “pretty” images are required. The focus isn’t on the aesthetic outcome, but on the process of creating and what it reveals about your experience. The artwork becomes a tool to promote insight, reflection, and therapeutic growth.
As your therapist, I do not judge your artwork. Instead, I may ask open-ended questions about visual content or symbolism to help deepen understanding and support your goals. In this space, the emphasis is on exploration, self-expression, and healing, rather than producing a “perfect” piece of art.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and provide individual talk therapy using an integrative, strengths-based approach. I believe each individual is unique and deserves individualized care. I draw from Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, Somatic Approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Art Therapy.

Why Choose Flow State Art Therapy & Counseling LLC?
Whether you have a child afraid of making mistakes, a teen feeling the pressure to succeed or fit in, or you're an adult who has spent years putting everyone else first, the pressure to meet expectations can make it difficult to feel comfortable being yourself.
Maybe you hold yourself to impossibly high standards, worry about disappointing others, or feel like nothing you do is ever quite enough. You might find it difficult to say no, slow down, or recognize your own needs beneath the expectations of others. Over time, these patterns can leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who you are beyond what others expect of you.
At Flow State, therapy is about more than managing these struggles- it's about understanding where they come from and creating space for something different. I help children, teens, and adults navigate perfectionism, people-pleasing, anxiety, and the pressure to achieve while building self-trust, confidence, and healthier relationships with themselves and others.
My human-centered, relational approach combines talk therapy and art therapy to create a space where you can feel seen, understood, and accepted without judgment. You don't have to have all the answers, get everything right, or hold it all together here. Together, we'll explore what's beneath the pressure, embrace imperfection, and help you build a life that feels more authentic, balanced, and aligned with who you are.
You deserve to feel valued for who you are, not just for what you do.
