“Your mental health is everything — prioritize it. Make the time like your life depends on it because it does.” — Mel Robbins. I believe that I didn't choose to be a mental health professional, the profession chose me. I remember helping my friends in High school with their traumas and life transition issues. The ability to connect and make people feel comfortable talking to me about their personal stories took me on this professional path. What I love the most about being a mental health professional is having the opportunity and privilege of being a p art of people’s journeys.

My client has difficulty with change and is unable to look at the positive side of things. Normally I see this in young adults who I feel are not reaching their potential and are running out of time. The goal is to pay more attention to the things they already accomplished, prioritize their time, and recognize that sometimes life provides twists and turns that are out of our control. Teach the value of the ‘here and now’ to unstuck the mind and move forward; looking more at successes than failures without forgetting to use the latter as opportunities more than regrets.

That painful event keeps replaying over and over in your head. You can’t stop seeing the images of it. Thoughts of what you could have done differently play on repeat. They force their way into your mind, leaving you overwhelmed, panicked, and burnt out. The triggers are everywhere and anxiety and depression feel like they’re constantly looming over you. If you could just let it go maybe you could move on with your life. You no longer want to carry the weight of what happened but to enjoy the things you once loved.

Counseling does not dictate one way to be or feel. Here there is no judgement, only support and guidance as we face your reality together, process any difficult or confusing matters within a safe space, make sense of your own unique story, and establish personal well-being in healthy ways that work for you. I have overcome obstacles concerning physical disability, grief, stress, anxiety, and financial conflict. Mental illness is not the only cause for counseling. If you are experiencing distress in any amount do not be afraid or ashamed to seek help. Everyone requires assistance at times and there is not always someone available.

I help clients uncover the neuro-emotional patterns at play through guided imagery, experiential methods, and expressive therapies like art, music, and writing.
I believe the Beatles were onto something when they said, "All you need is love." We often make plans, only to have them derailed by unexpected situations that throw us off balance and lead to dysregulation. Motivation, inspiration, faith, and hope can quickly be replaced by confusion, cynicism, anxiety, depression, or even hopelessness. The reality is that we all need validation—to feel seen and heard. It's often not just the situation itself that causes distress, but the lack of feeling acknowledged and understood afterward that contributes to our mental turmoil.

Hi there! I'm Dolly, lover of nature and all that is wild. I hug trees and love the smell of dirt. Are you finding it difficult to find a balance in your life? Does the stress of life become overwhelming to you at times? I help individuals prioritize what is important to them so that they can begin to live life based on what is wanted rather than a life they think they should be living. When an individual is going against what is true to their own nature this can lead to cycles of anxiety and depression and can oftentimes affect personal relationships.

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.
