Where do I start? This question often arises when we feel stuck, unsure of how to move forward. Life, much like creating a piece of art, begins with a rough draft—a few sketches as we start to shape our vision. If you are feeling a pull for change but you are not sure how to take that first step, counseling or art therapy could be the perfect place to start.
Through compassionate and individualized care, I seek to provide you with a space for you to break down the rules or rigidity that have held up old patterns of behavior and thinking. I utilize a variety of modalities such as CBT, DBT, EFT and more, combined with creative art expression to support you in becoming your more authentic self.
Taking the first step towards counseling takes courage. Together, we’ll transform those initial life sketches into a meaningful masterpiece, drawing your path toward a brighter, more fulfilling future. I look forward to getting to know you and walking alongside you in your journey.
