I believe that we all are doing the best we can with the tools we have at the time. Through self-compassion, reduced negative thinking, and increased awareness of our own needs/feelings, positive growth can occur for you or your child. This also supports an improved relationship with ourselves which results in happier relationships with others. When you enter my counseling space it is my goal for you or your child to feel accepted, safe, and heard. As a parent myself, I am also passionate about helping you connect with your child in a more positive way.

You are a middle-aged woman who feels the path provided by your parents, religion, or society isn’t working for you. You live in your head, struggling with perfectionism and people-pleasing. You experience migraines, stomach aches, sleep disturbances, and racing thoughts. You were in a care-taking role your whole life, but now, you’re exhausted from managing everyone else’s needs, often neglecting your own. You feel a gnawing guilt, persistent inner criticism, and a pit of despair. You are ready to heal old wounds, resolve shame, and truly trust yourself. You seek deep, long-term healing that addresses the root of your struggles.

I blend art therapy, parts work, & other therapy techniques to help you feel unburdened, deeply rested, and unapologetically joyful.
Anxious perfectionists go through perpetual guilt, shame, and self-punishment. No matter how hard you try, you're always falling short. It's exhausting, but you don't really know how to relax and probably don't sleep so well. Maybe you're first-generation, or the sibling who had to keep it together, or a grown-up "gifted and talented" kid. Anxious perfectionism may also show up as body tension, severe procrastination and indecision, and difficulty with boundaries and people-pleasing. Perfectionists don't do things perfectly—they feel like they ALWAYS have to do better. You may not even be sure if you can call yourself a good person.

Art Therapy

How does art therapy work?

The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.

Does art therapy help with trauma?

Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.

How long does art therapy last?

The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

What are the limitations of art therapy?

Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
