Art Therapy in Methuen, MA

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, burnt out? Are mental health struggles keeping you from living your best life? These symptoms are telling you that it’s time for change. I understand it takes a lot of courage to ask for help, but you don’t have to do it alone. I can help you find balance and teach you skills to sustain wellbeing. I provide holistic and evidence-based interventions specific to your goals, including (but not limited to) art therapy, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy. I can help you process your past experiences, and we can work together to better resolve current challenges as well as celebrate the joys.

Do you feel anxious and overwhelmed? Has your alcohol or drug use become more of a problem then an escape? You may find yourself here because you no longer feel in control. You may feel trapped in the cycle of drinking or using. Perhaps you have tried to stop on your own. Relief is possible, but often it requires support from someone who understands addiction. Let's get to the root of the problem. Therapy can help you figure out your "why". Together, we can identify healthy ways to cope. We can clarify your purpose and get you back to a life that isn't dictated by the urge to drink or use drugs.

Do you think you may have ADHD or Autism? Have you struggled to assert boundaries at work, with family, & partners? Have you felt curious about exploring different pronouns and gender identity?

Goals to get a diagnosis for your disability & curious about medication, goals to reevaluate your relationship with cannabis/alcohol. You may feel shame & anger about your childhood & the way your parents handled your behavior.

Immediate openings. A trauma informed therapist working with adults in MA. I use a variety of modalities that are unique and tailored to the individual. I have a certification in expressive arts and find art techniques useful when working with depression or self-esteem issues. I provide a non-judgmental, safe place to explore root causes of your symptoms. Sometimes something minor happens and our life spirals from there. I work with adults struggling with change, transitions, self-esteem, depression, feeling stuck, or not knowing their life purpose.

The ideal client is motivated to continue to work with their inner child to become grounded in the present moment. They may have anxiety, mood disorders, or personality disorders, or they may not be sure what is underlying their experience, which I can help identify as well. The ideal clients are open to trying new methods of healing, including arts and spirituality. They are willing to trust me with their feelings and express them, whether that is verbally, through the expressive arts, or both.

Hi and welcome! The clients that I help may be starting to undo their inner people-pleasers. They have been taught that they are not enough, or are too much. That their needs somehow don’t matter as much. They get in their own way, don’t live in accordance to their values, and ruminate on every perceived mistake. They worry about being a burden or an inconvenience to others. They have a wounded inner child. Many of my clients are survivors of narcissistic abuse, struggle with addictions or self-harm, and struggle with just being nice to themselves. Sound familiar? You may not see it now, but you are worthy of the life you dream of!

Life is an ongoing process of aligning with our true authentic self. Without that alignment life can feel barren and meaningless. We feel stuck and unable to realize our visions and dreams. Yet, the capacity of the human spirit for creative and intuitive development is truly unlimited. Most of us however, use only a small fraction of that capacity. Through self-reflection and personal exploration we can gain an understanding of what limits this capacity.

I am here and I am ready to help with change of all types. My ideal client will have an idea of what changes they want in their lives and are willing to put the hard work in to get there. I will cheer you on and support you every step of the way. I am currently licensed to practice in the following states: Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Tennessee. Please note, at this time there is a waitlist for people needing after school or evening sessions. Children under 15 can be seen in person only.
