Mental Health Counselor

I would like to work with clients ages 6 to 17 of all backgrounds on socioemotional and developmental issues. Common goals for clients may be learning emotional regulatory skills, identifying maladaptive behaviors, developing forms of communication with their daily support systems, and fostering positive relationships with peers and adults. Ideally they may be open to using art therapy interventions in session but it is not necessary.

I regularly draw from a variety of art therapy interventions rooted in evidence-based practices and can adapt them to the client’s developmental appropriateness. I am also able to incorporate both 2D and 3D art materials and other forms of expressive arts modalities such as music, play, and drama therapy practices.

I am willing to take the time to develop rapport with clients and to meet them where they are at. My desire to work with young clients is congruent with my belief that they are future members of society. I value the time and efforts of my clients and will do whatever I can to foster their growth and interests.
