About Me

I am a multidisciplinary artist, teaching artist, facilitator, and therapist based in Philadelphia.

My work across art and therapy is rooted in a belief that developing a more compassionate relationship with ourselves can be a powerful act of healing, resistance, and connection.

Working primarily in painting and photography, I explore how art can help us understand our inner worlds, reclaim the parts of ourselves we have been taught to hide or feel ashamed of, and imagine new ways of relating to ourselves and one another. My perspective is deeply shaped by queer community, disability and chronic illness, and the experience of living in a body that does not always move through the world in expected ways.

This philosophy also shapes my work as a therapist, where I specialize in eating disorders and body image. I am interested in how we learn to see, understand, and inhabit our bodies, and in creating space for more expansive and compassionate ways of relating to ourselves.

I lead workshops in non-traditional self-portraiture and have organized community-based art projects, including Coming Home and the Queer Art Collective. Across all of my work, I return to questions of tenderness, embodiment, self-connection, and queer intimacy—and to what it means to create a life in which we are able to see ourselves fully.
