Art Therapy in Katy, TX

Starting therapy can be intimidating but you are taking the first steps by seeking help. Whether you are looking for support navigating life challenges or wanting to develop new skills, you have come to the right place! Everyone deserves a safe space to openly express themselves without fear of judgment; and as a therapist trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, etc., I am prepared to accompany you on your personal path.

‘Offering a clinical foundation with a mentoring vibe.’ Hey! If you’re seeking a non-traditional therapy style then you’ve come to the right place (no, you’re not required to lie down on a couch). We are a team of clinicians that offer diverse areas of specialities. Our treatment styles make it fun and engaging while learning the tools needed to improve your mental well-being. We operate from a person-centered model but include techniques such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavior, music, exercise, art and more. The intent is to alleviate any discomfort felt when seeking help from a licensed professional.

We all reach a point in our lives when we can benefit from some outside assistance. My specialties include helping families with teens, couples with relationship struggles, and adults who are on a path of "find themselves". This journey of self discovery is often prompted after experiencing traumatic events such as abuse, divorce, or health problems. It can also be a result of debilitating anxiety, low self esteem, or an introverted personality. It is my passion to help individuals learn to identify their strengths and to better understand themselves in order to create permanent change.

I believe everyone has the ability and strength within themselves to make the change they wish to see in their life. As your therapist, I strive to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment conducive to overcoming any challenge. Imagine what your life could be like if you responded to situations in a healthy manner rather then by reacting. I am a certified sex addiction therapist who has successfully helped individuals heal from sex, porn and love addiction (staying in a relationship when it is not healthy or stable).

Stuck in your head? As a therapist, I seek to help you resolve life difficulties as QUICKLY and painlessly as possible. I start by meeting you right where you are today, honoring your individual experiences, relationships, & identity. From there, we can work together to identify new skills, coping strategies, areas for growth, and inherent strengths you may not have been able to see before. Not only is each individual story unique, but the response is too. Some have trouble identifying or expressing how they’ve been impacted by their experiences, while others notice the effects but aren’t sure how to make sense of them.

Whether you're looking to overcome anxiety, depression, or grief; manage stress, overwhelm; or simply tap into your inner creativity, art therapy is the perfect tool through which you can tap into your inner thoughts and emotions and actively re-build and strengthen the connections between the mind, the body, and the soul. Finding a way to express yourself via colors, marks, patterns, or scribbles means that you are leaving your unique mark in this world. And the best part is that you don't need to have any prior experience or skills in art-making – the process of Art Therapy is completely intuitive and adaptable to your needs.

It's overwhelming to grow up in this new stress filled culture, dealing with the intense pressure of family, academics, peers, and now social media! When words are not enough, Art Therapy, a combination of counseling and art making, can bring to light the uncertainty that is felt on the inside. For children, the focus is on the process of art-making to practice healthy habits while improving executive functioning skills. For teens and Adult-children finding meaning and purpose through artistic symbols/metaphors can reduce anxiety about the future. Anyone can do Art Therapy!

As human beings, we behave according to what has worked for us in the past. Such behaviors may not necessarily be healthy or positive ones, and that is what brings you in today. This desire to work and get better at doing life in a more positive and healthier manner. Yes, we may encounter ourselves revolving around unhealthy coping skills and not very strong boundaries with those around us which may be what makes us feel in greater need of connection and positivity in our lives. If there is anything that life has taught us, is that we are capable of change, of rebuilding of shaping ourselves into that person you have always desired.

You're parenting a child with behavior problems and you feel helpless. You have a wildly energetic child who doesn't "turn off", you're getting phone calls from daycare/preschool/school that your child is hitting, biting, being aggressive, or your child has anxiety and having a hard time separating from you. Anxiety, ADHD, and trauma can have lasting impacts on your child and I want to partner with you and your child to explore their feelings, needs, experiences, and thoughts through play therapy by identifying what's underneath their behavior, providing education, and learning applicable tools.

As a compassionate and non-traditional therapist, I believe in honoring your unique path and providing the guidance you need to overcome the obstacles holding you back. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, codependency, chemical dependency, or sexual trauma, I offer a compassionate approach that embraces your individuality.
