Collaborating with an external confidant can provide valuable insights and support in processing emotions. I specialize in addressing anxiety, mood disturbances affecting sleep, and discussing unspoken mental health concerns within families. Sharing your story in a safe environment can redefine your journey. When you're prepared to discuss your narrative, we'll practice coping strategies to navigate the next phase more comfortably. My training in CBT and DBT, coupled with a client-centered approach, ensures we proceed at your pace and comfort level.

My approach prioritizes the process over the end result, emphasizing personal growth. Art skills are not necessary; participation in art is optional. Clients can explore feelings and thoughts through various mediums that resonate with the
Trying something new, like counseling, requires opening up about your thoughts and feelings. I offer a free consultation to discuss your concerns and find what works best for you. Together, we'll create a plan that prioritizes your needs and goals, ensuring a positive therapeutic journey focused on your well-being and growth, with empathy at the core.

Each treatment is unique to the individual, i have expressive art materials and games available but not a requirement. Many people choose strictly talk therapy while others feel more comfortable incorporating other tools while we talk, or simply having silence while working and processing after. We will start the conversation about whats best for you in the consult.
