About

I am a visual artist and Creative Arts Therapist based in New York City. 

In my art therapy practice, I support clients navigating identity, life transitions, and trauma with a calm, grounded presence and a relational, strengths-based approach. I integrate expressive arts with person-centered and solution-focused therapies to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and resilience. My work is rooted in creativity, cultural humility, and trauma-informed care. Grounded in lived experience, I prioritize affirming care and therapeutic relationships built on trust, curiosity, and collaboration. My goal is to create a space where those facing complex mental health challenges can find connection and meaningful healing.

My art practice incorporates photography, painting, fiber, sculpture, and graphic design—mediums through which I manipulate and reimagine the familiar. By transforming everyday objects and placing recognizable figures in unexpected contexts, I provoke questions about their meaning, when placed in contrast or reinterpreted.

My work explores masculinity, particularly the rigid codes and formalities of male social etiquette. I investigate how these codes are constructed, performed, and perpetuated. My work creates space for disruption and alternative reading of masculinity, blurring boundaries between vulnerability and strength, dominance and sensitivity.

Drawing on materials such as military first aid manuals, anti-sexual assault brochures, wrestling holds, and dance instructions, I examine the choreography of male touch—how it’s learned, regulated, and displayed across public and private arenas. These sources help frame masculinity as both a performance and a structure, open to reinterpretation.

My work invites viewers to reconsider what is familiar, to interrogate the silent rules of male behavior, and to imagine new possibilities within those tensions.
