Counseling

Consultation
​Individual and group counseling is available for children, adolescents, and families. Clients will have the opportunity to explore life patterns and strengthen their ability to meet life's challenges through the art making process. My work focuses on the strengths that make each of us unique. These strengths ultimately serve as a guide to assist others in achieving their maximum wellness potential.

Counseling services are grounded in Adlerian based theory and tailored to meet the needs of the individual. Individuals will have the opportunity to explore life patterns and strengthen their ability to meet life's challenges through the art making process.  This creative modality provides a safe, structured, and nurturing environment for clients. 

I specialize in school misbehavior, anxiety, depression, ADHD, positive parenting, PBIS, and team building to name a few.  All my work is done through a multicultural lens and provides respect and inclusion for culture, ethnicity, and religion.
