Art Therapy in Wells River, VT

I am a life coach, counselor with a social work background. I believe in empowerment and the power of resiliency. I work with clients who are going through challenges and I lead them to transformations by listening, affirming and guiding their strengths. I believe in never giving up and the importance of community and reaching out to others. The first step in healing and creating change is walking through the door. I respect all differences and all stories and I work with individuals and I encourage stories to unfold over time. I work well with single parents and those who struggle with parenting, life transitions, stress.

I believe that our connections - to others, to our surroundings, to situations and events, and even to ourselves - are central in building foundations and nurturing our growth as individuals. It is my goal to support you build and strengthen your connections on your own journey of growth, whether that is helping you learn to process things that are impacting your life, learning new ways to manage your emotions, or discovering ways to express your feelings through talking and/or a creative process. I enjoy working with clients of all ages.

Cairn Counseling: We are all on a journey. Sometimes you can feel like you’ve hit a dead end or are at a crossroad unsure how to move forward. Cairns mark the trail just as therapy can help you find your path to inner wisdom, growth, and peace. Our task together is to develop the skills needed to navigate the terrain and weather the storms as we also discover joy in the moments along the way.

I work with adolescents, families and adults, joining with them in their quest for wholeness, emotional recovery and greater happiness. I have experience helping others navigate through trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, anger and issues specific to the LGBTQQ community.

We can work together to help you stay connected to your positive parenting skills, your need to find calm or perhaps work through a past trauma. You may be at the beginning of a journey, in the middle or further along. Wherever you are, connect with someone who provides encouragement and perspective. Children and families are welcome!

You want the best for yourself (or your child). The story you tell of your experiences deserves to be heard. We all deserve to have space to be deeply understood at any age. It's my desire to provide understanding; listening that is so healing. I work with children, teens, adults to build lasting skills and resources for them. I value working with individuals that are learning to navigate their identities in an overstimulating world. Clients and I work together to process, and build skills in order to meet their treatment goals and create enduring healing. I have a deep love for Vermont and my aim is to support our community.

I use a combination of therapeutic interventions to help with the diverse challenges that adolescents and adults experience. My approach is warm, relational, and client-centered. I draw upon research and evidence based approaches, while also looking deeper at a narrative that may be causing distress. We will create goals for mental health treatment that best support your individual needs and the conflicts you or your teenager are facing. Together we learn what helps you feel better.

I have limited openings for new patients, clinical supervision and parent consults. My training and experience as an art therapist and in psychoanalysis forms the premise of my work. It is deep work where we will explore together the meaning of your symptoms and attempt to understand and resolve them so that you are able to live more freely and with intention. I can help you gain new insights into the unconscious parts of the disturbances in your life that prove to be irresolvable without psychotherapy.

Life presents challenges sometimes. Learning how to access our resiliency, explore negative thought patterns, and strengthen new positive beliefs assists us in creating and maintaining a thriving daily life. I recognize that each person is diverse, having a unique family, social, and cultural history, and that healing and growth can be dependent on numerous factors. I use therapy methods that help bridge communication with children, youth and adults. I hold also hold BA in studio art that contributes to the creativity element of my work with individuals.

I seek to help children, teens, and adults in need of positive support or whom may be struggling with behavior support questions, attention deficit, depression, anxiety, goal development, and family relational problems. I support personal goal coaching and provide a safe environment for exploration in a number of many other areas. I seek to bring elements of joy, comfort, and safety to the personal process of healing.

My practice is oriented towards those working towards THRIVING rather than surviving. Are you are seeking therapy at this time due to problematic patterns that have been getting in the way of you moving forward and realizing your aspirations? My practice is dedicated to helping you reconnect with your innate source of creative energy by finding new ways of relating to the obstacles that have been getting in your way. I create a caring and compassionate space for you to explore through verbal and visual language, as well as bringing awareness to how the body holds and manifests stuck patterns that you are working to release.

I believe in everyone's innate capacity to heal. Everyone deserves a safe and supportive therapeutic environment which can allow one to connect to all parts of oneself and lead to a greater capacity for self awareness and self compassion. Creating this space of safety, trust and unconditional regard for my client guides all my interactions and interventions. We will work collaboratively to explore how your family history, life experiences and current stressors contribute to the issues that bring you to therapy so that you can begin to shift unhelpful patterns of thoughts and behavior that are holding you back in life.
