Art making NOT for you? No worries! As a Licensed Professional Counselor we can just talk and come up with specific solutions to help your needs!
I have been an Art Therapist since 2006 and I love inspiring people to use their creative minds to feel better. You don't need to be an artist or a poet or a musician to use creative thinking to help you to manage stress and chronic illness. Anyone can benefit from utilizing expressive therapies. I use creative visualization and relaxation techniques to help people learn how to help themselves to feel better.
Lots of people need help coping with pain, stress and chronic illness. I can teach you techniques that you can easily include in your daily routine to take the edge off. Sharing with a therapist can make you feel supported and less alone. My clients learn how to better communicate their needs and to increase their confidence and self care.
Therapy can be goal oriented and short term. I am here to teach you coping skills. We can dive in as deep as you need! You are in control and we will work as a team to find the best ways that you can help yourself.

Sometimes it's hard to know if which therapist is the right fit. You may need to "shop around" Looking for a therapist is like looking for the perfect hairdresser, it just has to feel right. You need to feel comfortable and that you can trust them and are able to open up. I will always do my best to make you feel at ease, but in the end, you need to trust your gut to know if we are a good fit.
All therapy is individualized, so it really depends on you. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you to reframe your thoughts. I am an Integrative Mental Health Specialist so we discuss how the brain and body work together and I will make suggestions to optimize your physical and mental well-being. I assign "homework" which may relate to diet, movement, watching a podcast, writing or other creative outlets. Ultimately, I am not the boss of you! You decide where it goes and how much you are willing to do for the best results.
Roxy is an amazing greeter with great instincts. She will interact with you as much as you encourage her to. She usually spends the session sleeping under the table behind me and never gets up to say goodbye! I have never heard her gossip :)
