Personal Statement
Life is challenging and rewarding, filled with joy and unpredictable frustrations. We can face each day with our best attitudes and intentions and still struggle to find clarity and peace. As an empathic, creative, and experienced therapist, I provide effective, individualized counseling to support clients as they navigate life changes and challenges. In addition to talk therapy, I offer art therapy techniques and a faith-based approach to help clients face their challenges together.
We all have the innate ability to be creative and expressive in all areas of our lives. I offer a counseling approach that encourages a variety of ways to express thoughts and feelings—sharing, learning, and growing from your experiences, as you see yourself through your art.
Who I Serve
I serve clients ages 5-95 with a variety of life challenges and life transitions.
