PERSON-CENTERED &
EXPRESSIVE ARTS APPROACHES

COUNSELING

It's Your Time!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who fosters healing, learning, and transformation.

I am an excellent listener and offer deep empathy and support, unconditional positive regard, and a peaceful presence. I have an eclectic approach to counseling integrating Person-Centered experience with elements of mindfulness and DBT, CBT, and the Expressive Arts.

You may be interested in trying some guided imagery, mindfulness exercises, music therapy, or art therapy activities. I encourage clients to take advantage of the many benefits of the arts for the mind, body, and soul, and the unique perspectives gained through engaging both sides of the brain!

COUNSELING FOR KIDS

Skill Development & Wellness

Using a variety of approaches such as psycho-education, art, music, and play, I can help your child learn essential coping skills, social skills, and achieve their goals. I also consult with parents about how to support this growth and encourage positive interactions in the family.

I enjoy using the Expressive Arts in therapy. I am a licensed provider of Music Together Within Therapy, which means that I can incorporate music and activities from the Music Together curriculum into therapy to better meet client needs.

I offer skills and insight gained from 8 years as a Professional School Counselor, and I would love to support you and your child as they build skills and strategies for wellness.

CHILD THERAPY TESTIMONIALS

"You know how you sometimes have to 'audition' several therapists until you meet one that is a good match? That was completely not the case with Avery! My kids, 7 and 10 (and that would be a very therapy-averse 10-year-old boy!), immediately felt comfortable in her office and with her and wanted to come back the next day! Avery's warmth, experience, knowledge, understanding, and compassion have been a blessing to our whole family for several months now."

"Avery bonded quickly with our 6 year old son. She used play and games to help him feel comfortable and develop emotional regulation skills. He always looked forward to the games and toys in her office. Avery helped us feel more control and develop skills to help our son with his anxiety, and to recognize the strengths in our family. As a parent with an anxious child sometimes we feel helpless but Avery helped us feel more control and to problem solve. She is a talented child therapist and fabulous human who your kids will love to work with!"
