Therapy is about accepting who you are, while also exploring the ways you can grow. I’m here to assist you in processing conflicts and experiences, and working on ways to help you cope and move forward. I use art therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction to support introspection and healing. Art therapy can help you access and harness your strengths for healthy change, but you get to decide how much art making you want to integrate. If you haven’t made art since second grade - no worries! No artistic experience is necessary to benefit.
