Where do we start?

It sounds like this is a question you’ve been asking yourself for awhile. Where do I even begin to start feeling better?

First off, you are checking out therapy pages… so you are already making moves!

Anxieties, sadness, emptiness, lack of direction and energy, suicidal thoughts and urges maybe feel like they are here to stay.

You are left dealing with how to manage your day to day AND your own mood, relationships, and mental state all while trying to stay alive!!!!

Simply typing that made me need to take a deep breath….

I think I may be able to offer some things that could help.

First of all, I am an art therapist. This means that I am trained at guiding others through creating art that can not only be insightful and meaningful but also cathartic and mindful.

Secondly, I am a DBT informed therapist. (I practice as a therapist with STLDBT if you are looking for a full DBT program.) As a private practice clinician, I rely heavily on the use of effective and appropriate skills to cope in the moment.

Thirdly, I am trained in Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is incredibly useful when needing to process previous events or treat PTSD symptoms.

All of this to say that I can help give you tools and support to get where you want to be… looking forward to tomorrow and not dreading existance.

We both want that for you.
