Hi, I’m Wes, and I’m so happy you’re here. I am an art therapist and counselor who values your authenticity, autonomy, and self-expression. It is a great honor for me to support those who may not fit into the boxes of mainstream norms, and be present as you navigate life’s challenges. I may be a good fit for you if you are looking for someone who “gets it” and is ready to meet you as who you are. I might also be a good fit if you have been masking your true self for as long as you can remember and are looking for a space to just be.
I work with children and young adults identifying as neurodivergent and/ or as members of the LGBTQ+ community. In our work together, we can work to process and heal trauma, develop your sense of identity, and make meaning from your complex feelings, thoughts, and experiences.
