Art Therapy in Troy, MI

Are you looking to strengthen your mental health? Life can be overwhelming to cope through when challenges are part of daily life… but, that’s where talk therapy and art therapy can potentially provide respite! My goal as a counselor is that of a non-judgmental advocate which provides you a safe place to freely share about personal experiences. My journey as a parent has led me to take passion in advocating and working with those who are trying to conceive, dealing with infertility, have endured miscarriage(s), are surviving postpartum, or are a stressed parent.

Currently accepting new patients for in person and virtual appointments. People are made to strive toward growth. If you are feeling stuck, disconnected, unsettled or blue, you may need a helping hand to get "unstuck" and move toward growth again. I provide a safe and welcoming space to explore this process and grow. I have experience treating clients for trauma, anxiety, depression, dissociative identity disorder, sexual trauma, family difficulties, sports performance, difficulty adjusting to life circumstances, ADHD, difficulty communicating, anger and interpersonal conflict.

This is a very difficult time for everyone. Fears, uncertainty, loneliness, and a lot of anxiety is going around. Time for you to feel heard, understood, appreciated, validated, and accepted for who you are. Let's work together to get through this difficult time. I personally am not accepting new clients but I work with several amazing therapists and art therapists that are here to help. Reach out today and I can help you get set up with a new therapist.

Accepting new patients now! Are you feeling stuck, in a rut or down? Do you know what you want but feel confused about how to get there? Getting stuck sometimes is normal and I can help. I believe that every person possesses a self-correcting impulse but, can only access this given the right circumstances. I will offer a safe & nurturing space to reconnect with this part of you. My goal in therapy is to help you gain personal insight and self mastery as well as self-compassion so that you may learn to overcome difficult or overwhelming feelings. As we work together, I will support and guide you toward confidence and independence.

There is a lot of anxiety and uncertainty during these times. Voicing your stress and receiving support and validation in return can relieve some of that weight off your shoulders. Finding healthy ways to cope and allowing the time to focus on your needs are what we can do together to bring more stability into your life. As a counselor and art therapist, you will find yourself in an environment that centers on your self-growth and empowerment through talk therapy and creative expression. Neurodivergence, the recognition of more brain functioning than the neurotypical standard, is also a core practice you'll find with me.

Life can be difficult, and sometimes guidance is needed to help pull you through. Whether you are in search of stress reduction techniques, coping mechanisms, or someone to assist in navigating a new path, I would love the opportunity to help.
