I'm here to be your personal guide as you conquer the mountains in your life. When things becomes difficult, we forget how strong we really are. We forget how much life has to offer us. Sometimes, it can become so hard that we can't even remember a time when we felt joy. Our emotions can play such a powerful part in how we experience our lives. We may become paralyzed with indecision and anxiety or become impulsive and regretful. As a licensed professional counselor, I will work alongside you, inviting the joy back into your life. Together, we will find your strengths and maybe even discover new strengths along the way.
Hi, Iām Agata.
My Approach
I view therapy as an exploration of the self: who are you and what will you discover? Along with traditional talk therapy, my practice can involve using the creative process, such as using imagery, and symbolism. At times, our feelings can be difficult to describe or understand; the creative process can help us find meaning without the use of words.
My role as the therapist will be to honor your journey through this endeavor of self-discovery. I may gently nudge you to reevaluate your circumstances or slow us down to do some deeper self reflection. My experience has taught me the importance of celebrating achievements and strengths, no matter how small they may be! Together, we will explore and practice coping skills that you may find helpful outside of our sessions.
You've decided to take a big step! I would love to hear how I can help. I have experience with children, teens, and adults. If you think i would be a good fit for what you are looking for, please reach out for a free consultation.
I have a masters and bachelors degree in Art Therapy and Mental Health Counseling. Art therapy focuses on the process of healing and self exploration rather than producing an image for others to view. It involves many forms of art making such as painting, drawing, collage, coloring, manipulating clay, and much more. If there is something you want to create, we will find a way!
For those interested, I can incorporate energy work such as Reiki in sessions. Reiki is a japanese form of healing that channels vibrational energy into the body to restore balance health.
More About Me
I am a new mom to a bright little girl that is certainly keeping me very busy. This new chapter in my life has shown me just how strong I am. It has also reminded me of all the small joys that life has to offer; I am enjoying them very much. During my free time, I enjoy art journaling, listening to standup comedy, reading and the great outdoors. We have just started going on hikes as a family again, and that has made me very happy.
