Services

What I Do:

I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from therapy for depression and grief counseling to parenting support, group therapy and beyond. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I provide a highly individualized and integrated approach tailored to each of my clients’ individual needs to help attain the personal growth they’re striving for.

I firmly believe that, as with the human experiences, there is as much therapeutic value in the art process as in the art product. It is the process through which we live every day; the process through which we learn; and the process through which we experience profound change. The product you experience will lead you to the relief of acute symptoms, increased regulation, increased satisfaction, a reduction in distress, and an understanding of how to continue growth and change throughout your life.

Treatment specialization includes:

• Depression and Anxiety
• ADHD/ADD Adult and Child
• FASD symptom supports
• PTSD/Trauma Resolution
• Eating Disorders
• Self-Harm
• Family Counseling
• Parenting Support
• Grief Counseling
• Work and Career issues
• Stress Management

How I Work:

Art Therapy

Based in cultural, neurological, psychological, and occupational therapy theories and practices, Art Therapy is a comprehensive and evidence based therapeutic approach that addresses treatment from a whole person perspective: mind, body, and spirit. Art is a natural avenue for accessing inherent creativity, which acts as a powerful aid in this process of growth and development. Often through artwork, storytelling, and creative interaction, our thoughts, desires, and experiences we may otherwise be unable to communicate are reveled. This can aid to clarify what you may be experiencing that brought you here in the first place. Art Therapy offers a wonderful tool for improving understanding between family members, building self-confidence, and providing a supportive skill for life. The variety of art mediums additionally can be used to address sensory integration needs, self-regulation and mind-body connections.

Mindfulness Based CBT

Therapy is not something that happens to you; it is a process through which you actively engage your senses and abilities to find new life strategies and healing. Mindfulness Based CBT integrates the long standing therapeutic benefits of understanding the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with new research on the neurological impacts of mindfulness. Mindfulness based CBT approaches are useful in the reduction of anxiety, improving mood, and working with disordered eating.

Experiential/Gestalt Therapy

Most behavior change is created not through talking, but through doing. Experiential/Gestalt Therapy techniques realize that our “unfinished business” has the tendency to resurrect itself throughout our lifespan until it is adequately resolved. These bits and pieces of unfinished business manifest in many different ways. Working in the moment, Experiential/Gestalt Therapy offers here-and-now opportunities to address these needs.
