Heal Change Grow

Heal Change Grow I'm excited to launch this page which will have updates on my business and workshop offerings, as well as articles related to mental health.

I am a licensed professional counselor and a board-certified art therapist in private practice in Longmont, CO. I work with adults facing the challenges of depression, trauma, relationship, communication and anger issues, body image, grief, anxiety, “stuckness,” and life transitions. I work with clients using both verbal psychotherapy and non-verbal methods (art therapy, photography, and writing)

. Clients I have worked with have found art-making, such as collage, painting, drawing, poetry, as well as photography, productive methods to reduce stress, promote self-awareness, and gain insights about themselves. Like art therapy, animal-assisted therapy can be a rich and exciting endeavor. So, if you choose, you will have the opportunity to work with animals (goats, alpacas, dogs, and now a horse!) in a therapeutic context. I believe that combining art therapy and animal-assisted therapy is a tremendously fruitful combination of modalities. If you'd like to discuss these options and see if my practice would be a good fit for you, we can schedule a free consultation.

These authors want you to prioritize practicing or appreciating art alongside getting good sleep, exercising and eating well. And they have proof it’s good for you.

KNOW YOURSELF

Know yourself they say
and don’t be led astray
but how can I know who I am
when I’m different every day?

Some days I’m the smart one
with the answers people need
and some days I’m the strong one
standing up to take the lead.

On other days I’m sure
that if the wind blew me too hard
I would shatter like a glass
into a million tiny shards.

And on those days I cower
and I hide out from the world
waiting on my inner child
to blossom and unfurl.

And each day I’m surprised
by the newness that I see
the things I’m finding out
the complexity of me.

So how to know yourself
when you’re all things rolled in one?
you simply must decide
to love whatever you become.

Climate grief and the associated anxiety related to environmental destruction and species extinction is so prevalent these days. I'm so glad more people are talking about it and there are therapists prepared to address these issues. We all need support around the fear, dread, guilt, grief and anxiety related to our planet's health.

Ten years ago, psychologists proposed that a wide range of people would suffer anxiety and grief over climate. Skepticism about that idea is gone.
