In addition to being a therapist, I am also a committed artist and writer. I have painted murals and exhibited contemporary art and installations from the East Coast to Tuscany including at the Ospedale Santa Maria Nuova and La Corte Arte Contemporanea in Florence. My current painting practice is a more personal and gentle experience, capturing the soft stillness of the Pacific Northwest as a way to incorporate mindfulness into my everyday life and explore the tranquil beauty of nature.

As a writer, I have a small number of magazine article publications and have created original copy for The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum, Grant Halliburton Foundation, and private therapy practices including my own, Coastal Trails Holistic Counseling.

I am now pursuing my first full-length creative work, a piece of autofiction that weaves together my lived experiences, magical realism, and my academic and professional knowledge on trauma.
