Have you been feeling overwhelmed or discouraged? Are you looking for a safe space to explore solutions? I can help you. Together we can use more traditional types of talk therapy and also creative arts techniques to overcome difficult feelings and situations; to develop and maintain more meaningful relationships; and to move forward in your life. By listening closely and engaging in thoughtful and creative exchanges, I will invite you to let go of habits and routines that are not providing the results you want and to become more aware of how you relate to yourself and the world.
We will create opportunities for your familiar ways of feeling and thinking to shift into a more satisfying and integrated version of yourself. I will help you identify your strengths and coping skills, strengthen supports available to you, remove obstacles you face, and achieve goals you want to reach.
