Individual Counseling
Individual counseling offers a supportive space to explore challenges, build insight, and work toward meaningful change. Sessions are tailored to your needs, goals, and pace, creating room for both reflection and practical growth.
My approach is integrative and collaborative. Therapy may include conversation, skill-building, mindfulness, or expressive approaches such as art therapy when helpful. No two sessions look exactly the same — the work is shaped by what you bring and what feels most supportive for you.
Individual counseling can support concerns such as anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, and emotional regulation. Art therapy may be offered as a standalone service or integrated into individual or couples therapy, depending on your goals.

Art Therapy
Art therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses creative expression to explore emotions, experiences, and inner processes that may be difficult to put into words. No artistic skill or experience is required.
Art-making can help slow the process, access deeper emotional awareness, and support healing in a gentle, non-pressured way. Materials are used as tools for reflection and meaning-making, not performance.

Art therapists are individuals with master level education in psychotherapy and art combined. Art therapists work with a diverse range of age groups and populations, integrating therapeutic techniques with creative processes to support emotional healing and self-discovery. Many art therapists carry professional credentials, such as Registered Art Therapist (ATR) and Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC) which are granted through the Art Therapy Credentials Board after post-graduate level supervision and successful completion of an exam. Therapists may also align themselves with organizations such as the American Art Therapy Association, dedicated to maintaining and enhancing knowledge, skills, and legal standing in the field.
