I have always been a creative person. I started writing songs as a teenager. I sing, write, and play guitar, dulcimer, and bass. I have released multiple EPs and produce my own music under my label, Cranberry Fanclub.

In 2015, I picked up my first camera and began carrying it everywhere. Photography became a steady companion to music. It helps me document life and practice creativity in small, everyday moments. It taught me to notice light, detail, and emotion.

After completing my bachelor’s degree, I pursued therapy to work through long-standing anxiety, depression, and trauma. Inspired by the safety and care I experienced, I began my Master’s degree in 2019 and started seeing clients as a trainee in 2021. I graduated with my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology in 2022 and worked as an associate supporting teens, families, and trauma-impacted clients. In 2026, I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Creativity continues to guide my work in the therapy room. I help clients see old problems in new ways, find language where there was none, and create space for growth. Healing, like art, requires imagination and a willingness to see things differently.
