Do you need a more creative way to process in therapy? Join me for Art Therapy. The daily stressors in our life can become obstacles and can bring us to feelings of isolation, loneliness, and a feeling of not being understood. We are not operating from the true self in self energy when this occurs. You can harness your true nature through creativity and art. We as individuals deserve to be heard, wanted, and loved. I work in individual counseling with evidence-based treatment through Expressive Art Therapy and Talk Therapy. I believe you have the ability to heal within and offer my services as a gentle guide on that journey.
