Having a sense of where you are going and what you want to do with your life is key in overcoming dependence on unhealthy relationships and/or behaviors. Life is a trip. Without a plan and sense of direction, life can become stagnant. It doesn't have to be that way. The changes don't have to be drastic. A different perspective sometimes is needed. Change is not easy, but with encouragement and support, you and I will identify the changes you want to make and start the journey to a better you. My goal is to support you on that journey to help you become the person, partner, etc. you want to be. Now is the time.

I do really well-reaching clients who have anxiety and depression. I also do well with college-aged clients and young mothers, 20/30-year-old women, and I can empathize with mothers/parents very well, as I am married with a 3-year-old son. My ideal client is motivated to participate in the therapeutic process and has some insight into their problem & what they feel they need to do to solve it. They don't expect me to have all the answers and understand that we will partner together to achieve their goals- but that they are the ones who have to be motivated to create change.

When we work to heal ourselves, we heal generations before us. I believe most people come to counseling because they are stuck in patterns that no longer serve the person they want to be. I believe a therapeutic relationship is a place of vulnerability and curiosity about yourself where we value authenticity, transparency, humor, and joy. I feel a higher calling in my life to serve people and the unique spaces they navigate; this, combined with education, and life experience assists me in guiding you to your goals. The fact that you’re here shows your resiliency and I hope to build on that awareness to enrich your journey to joy.

Expressive Arts Therapists
What happens in expressive arts therapy?
In an expressive arts therapy session, the therapist will provide the space and materials necessary to encourage the client to express themselves creatively. These can include art supplies, musical instruments, a journal, a camera, and more. The therapist offers careful guidance throughout the creative process, often noticing and talking about psychological issues as they arise. Many clients also benefit from the mind-body connection—the physical act of making art can help them feel more grounded and present.
How long does expressive arts therapy take?
An expressive arts therapy session will typically last between 50 minutes and an hour. Group sessions may run longer. Sometimes, a client might only need one or two sessions of expressive arts therapy in conjunction with talk therapy to resolve a psychological issue. Others might find a fixed number of sessions over the course of either weeks or months to be beneficial. The duration depends on the client and their individual needs and goals for therapy.
How does expressive arts therapy help children?
Creativity is an important part of normal child development. Expressive arts therapy proves a safe outlet for child clients to learn to identify their emotions and express them in healthy ways. In expressive arts therapy, children can build their self-esteem, discover more about their personality and strengths, and feel a sense of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic world. This therapeutic approach can be particularly helpful for children with developmental disabilities, autism, ADHD, speech impairments, and other conditions.
What are the limitations of expressive arts therapy?
Sometimes individuals have physical limitations that can affect their ability to express themselves artistically in certain mediums. For example, someone with hearing problems might find it difficult to make music. Sickness and mobility issues can make some types of art physically inaccessible (e.g., sculpting, dancing, etc.). Sometimes, clients are overly skeptical and have trouble letting go and engaging with the creative process. Individuals who require a higher level of care may be better served with other types of therapy.
