Hi I'm Lee,
Are you tired of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life you know you're meant to live? If self-doubt, emotional pain, or your inner critic has been holding you back, you don't have to face it alone. I'm here to guide you toward the transformation you deserve.
As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Registered Art Therapist, I specialize in treating complex trauma, depression, anxiety, codependency, and suicidal ideation. If you've been weighed down by overwhelming emotions, loud self-criticism, or past trauma, healing is possible—and it’s closer than you think.
My trauma-informed approach blends creative expression, curiosity, and compassion to help you overcome barriers keeping you stuck. Together we’ll: Gain clarity on your emotions, develop empowering coping strategies, break free from self-doubt, use art to safely express feelings, and design a life aligned with your values, creativity, and purpose.
This is your time to finally step into the life you deserve. Imagine waking up each day with the confidence to know who you are, what you want, and the tools to make it happen. Your transformation starts now. Ready to begin? Call or email me today, and let's take the first step toward a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and free.
