The stressors of daily life can be difficult to manage on the best of days, but for those experiencing mental health issues, these stressors can feel insurmountable. Many people I have worked with are struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ issues, identity issues, suicidal thoughts, etc. Many of them struggle with unhealthy coping skills, such as self-harm or other risky behaviors. They are seeking a safe outlet for self-expression, reflection, and creating healthy coping strategies.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Board Certified Registered Art Therapist℠, I have experience working with a variety of ages and settings, with a focus on helping these individuals reach their personal goals and reduce distressing symptoms. I use an integrative, strength-based approach, incorporating CBT, DBT, and Trauma Informed Care.
Together, we can create a therapeutic space that fosters safety and healing, and helps you to work towards your goals. I welcome and affirm clients of all identities and background in my practice.
