Feeling stuck and uncertain? You don't have to do this alone. Sometimes the struggles of day to day life become too much to handle. This may be because of past issues, or a current event that has occurred in life. Both can be equally as difficult to process through without support. This is a place that you can talk openly about things that you worry would burden others. These issues can be anything from major first responder events, to managing time away from family due to job duties, to a major life event. Adjustment can be hard under any circumstance, but is possible.

I can assure therapy with me is never a cliche. I know how easy it is to feel alone and always asking over and over why me or what else can go wrong. I can understand needing a break and wanting to scream. Thats why I want to listen, act, and help you transform by exploring those issues you may be struggling with together and take back control of your life because you matter too.

Does your life seem overwhelming? Would it help to know you are not alone? Today, more and more individuals and family units are struggling with school, work, relationships, and home because of the increase of everyday life pressures that surround them. Fear and anxiety can take a toll on any person when they feel out of control. Since we all have different stories, sometimes it is helpful to have someone to talk to and help process your thoughts and emotions before it affects your mental and physical health in a negative way. I understand just being heard can be helpful, but also want to help find real life solutions.

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.
