Life is a process & change isn't easy. We can all benefit from gaining new perspectives. While you don't have control of the cards you're dealt, your power lies in how you respond. In addition to talk therapy, I'm an art therapist & believe art offers a portal to embodying our most authentic self. Art therapy offers endless opportunities for expressing & working through internal issues, & processing/releasing what may be difficult to put into words. Life is full of lessons & we can choose to use the challenges & problems we face as opportunities to grow & evolve. Therapy can promote the hope & self compassion needed to rise & thrive
I want to support you in identifying & using your personal strengths, to empower you to make the changes & adjustments to help you live your best life. I believe a genuine personal connection is essential & my approach is holistic & person-centered. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are in this moment & help you to become a better version of yourself.
I want to empower you to invest in your life & nurture what needs attention. We'll work together to identify destructive, unhealthy thought patterns & behaviors getting in the way of your personal goals & well-being. Together we'll explore new solutions & transform pain into meaning that will help you overcome personal struggles & create a life worth living.
