<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Counseling and </span>art therapy are practical and creative
approaches to help you manage stress and increase self understanding when you are facing transitions, loss, grief or depression and anxiety. If you are diagnosed with a
life changing illness such as cancer, or stroke, counseling and art therapy can also help you cope.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>From
diagnosis through treatment, and beyond, I can provide support to you
for as long as you need it. We work collaboratively during your process of healing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Counseling
is confidential. It can be short term and is solution focused. I use
cognitive behavioral therapy to help you problem solve and gain
self-confidence. You can choose to work within the counseling process, or
through art therapy, or within both disciplines. Counseling is a collaborative endeavor.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">If you choose to use art therapy, it is a way of knowing yourself by reaching inward. As a practicing artist I'm engaged in the creative process and can help you access this part of yourself. I can help you look at your life and problem solve creatively, provide a visual record for you, and teach you to use your inner visual language to help you grow and understand yourself. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Art ther</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">apy helps with stress management and anxiety in ways that verbal therapy cannot.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Empathy is a keystone of the therapeutic relationship. Because I've been through difficult times myself, including family stress, depression, and breast cancer, I have first-hand knowledge of the issues my clients face and I have personal experience with how effective the approaches I use can be.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Being part of a group provides you with different insights as you share</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>experiences with others. This shared experience can help you with personal understanding. Group support can be stronger than individual sessions, and decreases isolation. Group structure provides a mirror of the larger world and opportunities to gain broader feedback. Issues we work on in group art therapy include: self-esteem, social anxiety, relationship challenges, career development and life transitions.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><b>Is it different from psychotherapy?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">There is an overlap between counseling and
psychotherapy; similar training and approaches. Usually, psychotherapy is longer and more in depth. The differences do blur. Art therapy is psychotherapy using art and may go deeper than verbal therapy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><b>What is art therapy?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Spontaneous imagery comes from deep within us and provides immediate access to feelings. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">In art therapy we use this imagery </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">as a catalyst to augment understanding and healing. </span> </span>This is a creative process that includes psychotherapy and knowledge gained is long lasting.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><b>Who can benefit from art therapy?</b></span><br />
<br />
Almost anyone. There are some people who obviously benefit more: people who have difficulty verbalizing their feelings, people who have speech and/or hearing issues, and people who are just "talked out" of verbal therapy, are feeling stuck and need more than words to express themselves.<br />
