Art Therapist in White Bear Lake, MN
Are tired of healthcare providers that focus on your problems treat your diagnosis rather than understand you? I offer a person centered approach to therapy. Which means you come as you are. I respectfully listen. Then we decide what how to best reach your goals together.
I try to offer creative encouraging methods that don't necessarily "feel like traditional talk therapy."
Somatic therapy offers effective trauma recovery in a gentle effective manner. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing, Havening, and certified in Integral Somatic Psychology.
Brainspotting is a method proven to improve performance, decrease distress and support trauma recovery. The founder, David Grand, developed Brainspotting while treating trauma survivors with EMDR. He notice where we look impacts how we feel. In Brainspotting sessions, we chose a goal, find the focus (brainspot) and begin the process of allowing your nervous system to reset which often removes internal blocks to reaching your goals.
Expressive art therapy allows for releasing stress and transforming your life experience. I encourage a positive creative experience by focusing on the process rather than the product. NO art experience required!
Yay, you won the survival lottery of tracking DANGER everywhere. If you are ALIVE, and soooo very exhausted, you may seek to avoid EVERYTHING, numb your FEELingS, or get irritated by EVERYONE telling you to RELAX. It's anxiety. It's treatable, I've been there and back. Transforming Anxiety into Focused Awareness is very doable. Ahhh
In our current times, our nervous systems are on high alert which causes avoidance, reactivity, feeling terrible about ourselves, everyone else and the world. It is possible to feel better. Trauma recovery is possible with time and support. I offer free consultations to discuss what living life without the fallout of trauma could look life for you. May your needs and wants be met.
