I’m Lena, an art therapist who holds space for the parts of you that don’t always get heard.

​

Here, you’re invited to show up exactly as you are.

With over 10 years of experience in youth development and 6 years of clinical work in community-based programs, schools, and crisis settings, I’ve worked extensively with youth, families, college and graduate students, educators, and clinical teams. I also have 3 years of experience supervising and training therapists, with a strong foundation in trauma-informed, culturally responsive care.

I believe therapy is a collaboration—between your story and your intuition, between the parts you know and the parts you’re still discovering. My work is grounded in kindness, curiosity, creativity, attunement, and deep respect for who you are and where you come from.

I specialize in working with individuals whose identities don’t fit into neat boxes. You may navigate multiple truths, balance cultural expectations, explore your roots and identity, or feel the friction between your inner world and the roles you’re expected to play. As someone who is multilingual and multicultural, I approach therapy through an intersectional lens, recognizing how race, culture, language, neurology, systems, and social context shape your sense of self. I strive to create a space where your full self is acknowledged and your unique journey is respected.

​

I offer client-centered, comprehensive care where your voice, autonomy, and lived wisdom guide the work. Each session is tailored to your goals, preferences, and creative instincts. I integrate your specific interests—

because what lights you up leads you home.

You’re invited to create, explore, reflect, and be curious about your inner world and how it connects to your place in the world. Through art, conversation, and self-inquiry, we work together to help you access your wisdom and voice, free of judgment and fully supported on your path to self-actualization.
