Hello!
My name is Hina (pronounced hin-ah) and I have been an artist for most of my life who has always created as a way to process the world around me. I’ve been a practicing licensed art therapist for over 13 years and have worked with people of all ages and walks of life. It’s important for me to share that my therapeutic work is shaped by my lived experience as a child of immigrants, a woman, a mother, and a maker, which allows me to hold space for the complexities of parenthood, marriage, life transitions, and the anxiety that can show up during these seasons.
My goal as a person and clinician is to always offer support in creating a life you love - one that is grounded in your values, enriched by meaningful connections, informed by insight, and aligned with your goals. Through our work together we’ll clarify what you hope to gain from therapy, and I will be there as both a support and a mirror along the way.

What is art therapy?
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative expression—such as drawing, painting, collage, or other art-making—to help individuals explore thoughts, emotions, experiences, and patterns that can sometimes be difficult to express through words alone.
The focus is not on artistic skill or creating something “good,” but on the process of making, reflecting, and discovering meaning together in therapy.
“The expressive arts have a unique role in restoring a sense of vitality and joy in individuals because aliveness is not something we can be ‘talked into.’” - Cathy Malchiodi
