Do you feel stuck? Maybe you feel like you’ll never get out of the same old routine no matter what you do. Or you think, “Even if I talk to someone about what’s going on, my clothes won’t get folded,” or, “My kid just won’t get off their phone. We’ve tried everything!” And, to be fair, you probably have tried everything. At least, everything that works for “everyone else”. I’m Abby. I specialize in working with people who think a little differently. Whether you’re a teen (or a parent of one), neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, OCD, etc.), or experiencing burnout, you may have thought, “How do I get back to normal?”

I have worked with many adolescents, young adults, families and couples desiring to have a better self esteem, coping skills, communication skills, parenting skills, and a trustworthy relationship with others. Many of them are fighting the battle of anxiety, depression, difficult life changes, parenting, victimization, suicidal thoughts, and PTSD. They desire a place of peace, to heal, change, and grow into the family, couple or individual they want to be.

Do you feel like life has lately become a roller coaster? You find asking yourself, "when will this stop?" Life is like a journey and sometimes the path gets a little bumpy, but it does not mean that we cannot reach our destination. We might have to slow down at times and reassess our route and possibly take a side road, however, other times we just have to slow down and be there. Trusting can be difficult and at times scary, but it can also be rewarding. As a therapist, I have learned that relationships can be very powerful and can truly help a person heal.

Everyone has rough times caused by life situations, mental health or a combination of both. Whatever the reason, it is the actions you take next that determines success or staying stuck. No matter what age or arena you are in!

Starting the journey into counseling can be scary and overwhelming. As a therapist, I want to come alongside my client and help them become the expert in their progress.  My experience has prepared me to work with children/adolescents, adults and families struggling with feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns of thinking. My counseling style is eclectic but is centered on warmth and acceptance with gentle nudging as we navigate through uncomfortable feelings. I am especially passionate about working with individuals who suffer with anxiety presentations.

Welcome, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Emily, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been working as a therapist since 2019, and my experience includes working with children, teens, and adults who struggle with anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, foster care/adoption issues, life transitions, low self-esteem, stress, women’s issues, and many other mental health issues. I am most passionate about assisting clients in finding deeper healing rather than a temporary fix. I always consider it an honor and a privilege to walk alongside individuals in this journey!

Hi, I’m Kaylin. I’m an Occupational Therapist who is passionate about helping individuals across the life span develop life and work skills, emotional regulation techniques, sensory strategies, interpersonal skills, and grow into a life that brings joy and fulfillment. You may be dealing with difficulties adapting to current life demands or transition periods, struggle with sensory sensitivities, find difficulty with parenting, or are just ready for a hands-on skill and activity-based approach to therapy. Let’s work together to figure out what brings you meaning, independence, and stability in your life.

We begin to develop our sense of Self & identity through our interactions with others at an early age. Our self-esteem, our thought patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression, our choice of a partner later in life--- all are heavily influenced by our relationships with those around us. When you begin to understand the origin of your thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns, you are better able to navigate your life. Therapy allows us to heal from trauma, process our grief, ease conflicts in our personal relationships, and develop a clearer sense of self.

Arts and Hearts Therapy is a creative approach to your child's needs. Is your child currently struggling to manage their big feelings? Are they finding it overwhelming and challenging to navigate their relationships with family and friends, establish a positive self-image, or manage their academic responsibilities alongside extra-curricular activities? Would you like some guidance and support around boundary setting, positive discipline practices, and authentic communication with your child? I've worked with children in academic settings since 2006. Various components of Early Childhood Education play a big role in my practice.

My passion is to work with children, adolescents, & college aged individuals who struggle with behavioral issues, family conflict, life changes, self-esteem, and anxiety. My ultimate goal is to help our youth understand that it's okay not to be okay and to know that it's okay to seek help! As Robert Kiyosaki once said, “One of the biggest defects in life is in the inability to ask for help." Therefore, it is my belief that in order for a healthier future to occur, we must start by supporting the mental health of our youth, as they are the future generations to come.

Chloe provides a safe and empowering environment that allows for positive change and personal growth by meeting her clients where they are. Her passion is helping others become confident in who they are and how they function in the world. She uses a fun and creative approach using art therapy alongside traditional counseling, which allows clients to express themselves beyond words. Some children and adolescents do not know how to explain what they are feeling or struggling with; Chloe helps them work through those feelings so they can better themselves and how they relate to others in their lives.

Being a kid is supposed to be a magical time filled with fun, learning, exploring, and giggles. As a parent, is there anything worse than realizing something has gotten in the way of your child's magic? When you can't figure out how you and your child got here, parenting becomes unbearably hard. Worse than that is feeling like you don't know how to help your child. You and your child need support, guidance, and someone who believes the magic isn't lost forever. When life gets challenging, I work with kids, teens, families, and parents. I believe that the magic isn't lost, and healing is possible for your child and family.

(I am currently accepting new clients!) If you find yourself here because you're feeling overwhelmed, lost, and unsure how to move forward in life, you've made it to the right place. Congrats on starting your journey to healing, I am already so proud of you! I am here to help you work through the anxiety that keeps you from recognizing your potential, the trauma that keeps you feeling stuck in the past, and any attachment wounds that keep you from forming deep and meaningful connections. If any of these have resonated with you, then let's get started working towards the life you desire.

One of the most common compliments I receive from clients is my attentive and empathetic approach to listening. I respect the importance of feeling heard, understood, and valued for one's unique experiences and challenges. If you are dealing with stress, trauma, or the lingering effects of trauma, and you are ready to take the necessary steps towards positive change, I am here to support you. Together, we can navigate your life's journey in pursuit of clarity, peace, and emotional well-being. You no longer have to face these challenges alone. I look forward to meeting you and accompanying you on this transformative path.

Adjusting to change in daily life is often difficult. An expected or unexpected life event may have you feeling that you need help managing your responsibilities and feelings. Whether you are at the beginning of a traumatic life event, stuck in the chaos, adjusting to a new norm, struggling with transition, or coping with grief and loss, I look forward to helping you navigate your journey. I enjoy working with clients through a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, academic or career challenges, family dynamics, chronic or terminal illness, and grief.
