I do a lot of different things, so this site serves as the home base.
I am a Board-Certified Registered Art Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, illustrator, designer, shop owner, collage artist, zine maker, tarot facilitator, speaker, consultant, published author, occasional comic creator, mental health advocate, and generally an "I'm-gonna-make-or-do-all-the-things-that-interest-me" type of human.
My art is available as stickers, prints, accessories, originals, and more through my shop, Heart Eyes. I also do wholesale and bulk orders.
I accept limited commissions and freelance illustration projects throughout the year that align with my style, voice, and expertise.
I synthesize my lived experience, clinical knowledge, and creativity to provide consultation and speaking-related services.
I provide art therapy and counseling services to individuals and groups in Chicago and virtually throughout Illinois.
The Big Feelings Survival Guide is a creative workbook for mental health that incorporates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and artistic prompts inspired by Art Therapy to help you cope.
Find peace and stability with this friendly, full-color, illustrated workbook filled with practical and creative exercises designed to improve your mental health.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, is a revolutionary treatment that helps people identify, cope with, and move through emotions. Art therapy uses creativity and techniques like drawing to help a person further explore their feelings and express them. What happens when you link them together? You get The Big Feelings Survival Guide, a unique and powerful workbook designed to yield insight and understanding.
Covering the three classic “parent emotions”—Anger, Fear, Sadness—the exercises are deceptively simple yet richly thought out, and each has a clinical underpinning. Draw a safe space for yourself. Scribble out angry impulses. Explore the mind-body connection by matching emotions with somatic sensations. Embrace confusion by working through a maze with different paths. Act out rebellious urges by painting a messy rainbow. Plus tips, games, and other practical help.
There is no wrong way to use this book. No art skills required. Just work through it with honesty and discover practical skills to help you engage in self-care, cope with life, and take care of your mental health.
