Hello! I offer counseling with the combination of genuine support and compassion, reliable therapeutic skill, and the opportunity for healing through creative expression. I provide guidance and an open space for artistic and verbal support for individuals who are ready to move forward in their journey of cultivating optimal health and wellness. Through thoughtful expression and insightful exploration, my clients will learn to nurture and grow reliable qualities within themselves to call upon for safety, security, health, and strength both presently and in the future.
Many clients come to counseling and art therapy seeking emotional stability, skill-based counseling, support for challenging situations and behaviors, personal insight and healing, optimal holistic health, and personal growth. This is also a safe, productive space to explore and work through difficult experiences a person has gone through, or a challenging situation they currently face. Through skill, confidence and self-esteem building, as well as cultivating a positive self-concept, my clients can prepare themselves for the challenges they may encounter in their futures related to
-Social pressures
-Depression, anxiety, and mood challenges
-Eating disorders and body image issues
-Nourishing, meaningful relationships
-Positive choice making
-Healthy coping skills
-Social interactions and expectations
Viewing counseling as a tool for healing, growth, and preventative health allows individuals to gain the knowledge about healthy coping skills and behavioral modifications both before they encounter difficulties, and to utilize as skills for working through pre-existing struggles. Within this perspective the client will feel stronger about their personal strength and beliefs while feeling more able to cope healthfully with any challenges that may arise.
