Ciao, I’m Kristel!
Through virtual sessions I offer flexible and accessible art therapy and mental health counseling to achieve your therapeutic goals. I will collaborate with you to discover your own way of using creative expression as an effective tool for personal insight and growth. Typical sessions with clients tend to be a combination of both art therapy and talk therapy; Sessions will be tailored to your needs. We will examine thought patterns and validate feelings to see where patterns can shift and change.
I am professionally trained in art therapy and traditional talk therapy. I often use a multimodal approach when working with clients which tends to incorporate mindfulness-based stress reduction practices and explore existential topics while maintaining a trauma-informed perspective.
Currently, I am only seeing adults for individual sessions. Referrals for family or couples counseling in addition to therapy for adolescents and children may be provided.
I offer mental health care rooted in Evidenced-based practices and compassion. I often support those seeking therapy for:
Grief and loss
This can include bereavement of a loved one in addition to a wide variety of other experiences like pregnancy loss, chronic health issues, or a change in how we identify ourselves.
Anxiety and depression
We explore the causes of your current state and utilize different coping skills to improve your well-being and self-esteem.
Life stress and Transitions
This can include examining boundaries and finding ways to implement stronger or more flexible boundaries with yourself and others.
Therapy can help one to:
Emotionally regulate and tolerate tough emotions
Build healthy coping skills
Create present moment awareness
Change ineffective behavior
Disrupt negative self-talk
Boost self-esteem
Help process grief and loss
Increase compassion for yourself
Increase empathy for others
Process traumatic experiences in a safe way
Increase inner resiliency
Build stronger relationships with others
I’d be honored to work with you! And if we end up not being a good fit after a few sessions, I am more than happy to offer referrals.
you do not need artistic skills or expensive art Materials to do art therapy. Just a willingness to try something different.
