Counseling & Art Therapy
Improve coping skills
Reduce stress Gain Insight
My psychotherapy practice utilizes traditional talk therapy as well as drawing on many other modalities to enhance the therapeutic experience. For children, adolescents, or adults the creative process is a less threatening way to work through challenges when struggling to find the right words or experience overwhelming feelings. An integrated approach provides a concrete record of the course of therapeutic progress. The focus is on the process not the product so NO art background is necessary.
Individuals
I believe that a successful therapeutic relationship is founded on a
good match between therapist and client. I am honest and authentic and
work to develop a trusting, caring and non-judgmental relationship in
which exploration can take place. Together, we can
investigate and understand your issues and concerns with:
- self -development
- Body image issues
- Stress Management
- Anxiety and depression
- Sexual orientation
- loss and grief counseling
Resolve Conflicts
Increase self-esteemReduce Anxiety
Families
Family dynamics -- whether a traditional or non-traditional family -- can often be challenging. Family counseling provides an opportunity for everyone to openly talk about their thoughts and feelings in a safe environment.
Together, we can work on:
- Parent-child conflicts
- Communication
- Defiant, angry, or isolated teens
- Grief and issues of loss
- Transitions after divorce or separation
