St art living a life free from doubt and anxiety.
Anxiety has caused you to experience exhaustion and isolation. You constantly have doubts and worries floating around in your thoughts. It feels like your mind won’t stop thinking about everything at once. You doubt yourself because every little decision feels monumentally consequential. Normal tasks that used to bring you joy no longer do, even your hobbies have fallen by the wayside. Friends try reaching out to you, but you end up withdrawing further away from them. You wish there were a way to go back to when you were happy and sure of yourself, but there seems to be this massive gap that just can't be bridged.

Life doesn't come with a manual, and like most of us, you're doing your best with the cards you've been dealt. You're motivated and eager to enhance the quality of your life. But sometimes, life's answers seem elusive, and 'proven' methods might not always resonate with your unique experiences. Just as there's no one-size-fits-all tool in a toolbox, there's no singular 'best' psychological method. For over 20 years, I've had the privilege of working with thousands of individuals. While I'm extensively trained in traditional therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, bio/neurofeedback, anxiety & OCD therapy

I believe counseling is a client centered tool. It's a method of knowledge and empowerment to assist those in need of finding their light, voice and direction to reach their future goals. A path for clients to find understanding within their own competencies, strengths and abilities and way to view additional or alternative perspectives. As a counselor I must also be self-aware, genuine and have the ability to accept others as they are. I strive to foster a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental atmosphere where individuals from all walks of life can gain the ability to grow, learn and incorporate positive change.

I offer Art Therapy to children, teens and families in person & telehealth.
Art Therapy is a therapeutic technique which allows you to explore various issues through art-making that can sometimes be difficult to express through traditional talk therapy. The process of creating art can foster healing, increase self-awareness, and provide personal empowerment. Art Therapy is a unique form of therapy that allows you to take an active and creative role in the treatment process. No previous art experience is needed, as you don’t have to be good at art to benefit from art therapy. The focus is on the process of creating the art rather than the final image.

Art Therapy
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
