Life transitions at any age are inevitable and often times, challenging. Are you or someone you know having a difficult time in life and would like help developing skills to live the life YOU want? If you’re reading this then you have already taken the first step towards that desired life. You want to - so you can - and together we will improve self-esteem, cultivate resilience, promote insight, and build emotional growth. There is power in an unbiased, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that also integrates art to facilitate positive change. Plus, it is an enjoyable way to experience counseling when words are not enough.
At CathARTic Breakthroughs cognitive behavioral skills, EMDR, art, and creative problem solving are blended to help you create individualized social, emotional, and behavioral techniques. My approach is described as an effective balance of artistic compassion and strong support to foster empowerment and ultimately experience CathARTic Breakthroughs.
Let’s overcome the challenges of life transitions, journey to understand the ways our thoughts and feelings influence our world, and create a customized plan to meet your needs. Make today the day you choose to be an active participant in your self-care and development. Call for a free consultation. Evening and weekend appointments are available.
