Art Therapy in 48374

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Self-love and seeking out a life worth living can feel tedious, overwhelming, and out of reach. Through therapy, we can work together to better understand how to navigate life, cope with stressors, process trauma, and begin living with purpose. I use an integrated and holistic approach when working with clients that is rooted in Humanistic psychology. Additional influences include CBT, ACT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and attachment theory. We will work together to tailor treatment to your individual needs.

If you are looking to support your child's experience with autism, sensory processing challenges, anxiety, ADHD, or self-esteem, a dual approach of mental health counseling and art therapy can be especially beneficial. I enjoy providing a safe, healing space for children, teens, young adults, and parents who are seeking support for neurodivergency in a neurotypical world. Providing art therapy and creative interventions are central to my clinical mental health counseling approach.

When life becomes overwhelming, it's natural to feel lost. Whether you're a teen, in your 20s, or navigating your 40s, 50s and 60s, life's twists and turns can be daunting. From significant life transitions to relationship struggles, loss, anxiety, or simply finding your place in the world, you're not alone.

Special Note: The current global pandemic has presented many unforeseen consequences; including consequences around social distancing. Decreased social contact can present emotional challenges to all types of people. Tele-mental health may be an appropriate way to address these challenges. My integrative style allows me to tailor treatment to the individual. My experience includes working with people of all ages and stages of life. I have extensive experience working with clients having anxiety, depression, attachment struggles and personality disorders.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and trained EMDR therapist. I am here to be your emotional support, life coach and help you overcome the debilitating effects of anxiety, depression, anger, procrastination and dissociative disorders that may be getting in the way of you living your best life.

I specialize in helping people feel calm and relaxed. I believe in teaching people the skills they need so no matter what life throws at them they can feel calm and in control. I use a variety of techniques and approaches to make therapy work for you to meet your goals.

I love working with children and families. I want to have clear communication with guardians while also creating a safe space that allows children to express themselves with a degree of age-appropriate privacy. I work with children to identify their emotions, learn their emotional triggers, and build a toolkit of coping skills. I also work with you as guardian to build plans of action at home and provide psychoeducation that is research backed so that you feel informed and confident in your parenting. I also recognize that as your family grows and changes you may find it helpful to reach out for support for yourself.

My background in various human services settings has allowed me space to develop skills and understand people in a different way than most. My goal is to help you attain the skills to be who you want to be and have a place to let your feelings be heard. I love to help people start from where they are now and grow into who they want to be. My passion is working with children and young adults, focusing on becoming more independent through aquiring knowledge and skills for success and to better manage life stressors, anxiety, depression, transition, divorce, family changes, behavioral problems and school related issues.
