¡Hola! If you are reading this, you are either going through a rough patch, or have been wanting for a preferred version of you/ life/ relationship to be your reality. We usually think of therapy as a space to work on problems, shame, trauma, and diagnoses... as if that is all you've got going for you. What about your hopes, projects, stories, talents, and desires? I believe therapy must include all of you, a space where you can talk about whom you love, how you love, and how you play. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and expressive arts therapist who says Welcome to all of who you are! Bienvenide a CreArte Counseling.I work with adult individuals and partnerships in explorations of identity and relational ethics in contexts of depression, anxiety, addictions, chronic illness, life transitions, and partnership reconfigurations, and agreement re-evaluation. My communities of interest/affinity include GSRD and LGBTQAI+; caregivers, social services workers; and HIV impacted.My approach to therapy is strength-based, non-pathologizing, collaborative, and creativity-inviting. Because there is more to us than meets the eye and more than one way of seeing and doing things, Crearte Counseling goes beyond talk therapy, working with all art disciplines in an intermodal way. Let’s work together. Come as you are!
