Anxious. Overwhelmed. Hurting. Stuck. These might be some emotions that you are experiencing right now, but know that you are not alone in this journey. Taking the first step in seeking change is incredibly brave and is a sign of strength. There is no single approach for counseling and everyone has their own unique struggles and goals for counseling. I operate from a collaborate, strength-based approach to promote resiliency, change, and growth. I specialize in creating a safe and expressive space for individuals to explore, heal, and grow through the power of art.
At Dallas Art Therapy, I offer expressive arts therapy. Believing in the profound impact of creative expression on mental health, my therapeutic approach integrates traditional counseling techniques with the unique benefits of art-making. Art experience is not required.
Ready to embark on a transformative journey through art? Let's connect and explore the possibilities of healing and growth. Message me for information about scheduling or for more details. I look forward to walking on this journey with you.
