Counseling & Art Therapy for Healing & Growth

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, leaving you searching for ways to cope and find peace. At Heart Centered Solutions, I provide counseling and art therapy in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to help individuals navigate personal struggles, build self-awareness, and achieve emotional balance. My approach is centered on guiding you through your personal labyrinth, helping you uncover clarity, resilience, and inner light.

Counseling for Personal Growth & Healing

Holistic Counseling offers a path to self-discovery and healing. By fostering a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, I help clients uncover their emotions, develop coping strategies, and find peace within themselves. With the right guidance, challenges become growth opportunities, and struggles become personal breakthroughs. Through counseling and art therapy, I offer tools and techniques that empower individuals to express themselves in healthy ways, leading to greater self-awareness, joy, and balance.

Effective Therapeutic Techniques

With over 36 years of experience, I use a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s unique needs. We begin by assessing your current situation and creating a plan that aligns with your personal goals.
I am trained in the following evidence-based techniques:
  • Art Therapy: Unlocks emotional expression and self-discovery through creative processes.
  • Brainspotting: Helps access and process deep-seated trauma stored in the brain.
  • Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP): Encourages mindset shifts and behavioral transformation.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Enhances emotional regulation and coping skills.
  • Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT): Releases emotional distress through acupressure tapping.
  • Eden Energy Medicine: Restores balance and harmony to the body’s energy systems.
  • Energy Psychology: Uses mind-body techniques to promote emotional healing.
  • DoTerra Aromatherapy: Supports emotional well-being with essential oils.
  • Flower Essences- vibrational energy of flowers for improving negative thoughts emotions.
Each of these approaches plays a role in the healing journey, allowing clients to develop meaningful solutions to life’s challenges.
“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
Anais Nin

Healing Through Creativity

Art therapy is a powerful tool for tapping into the subconscious, revealing emotions and beliefs that are not easily accessible through words. Engaging in creative expression allows clients to explore their thoughts and feelings in a nonverbal and transformative way.
By creating art, clients gain deeper insights into themselves, their relationships, and their personal beliefs. The creative process provides an outlet for emotional release, helping to make the invisible visible. This practice engages both the right and left hemispheres of the brain, promoting the integration of emotion, cognition, and sensation. As a result, clients develop new perspectives, strengthen emotional resilience, and achieve greater inner harmony.
As a practicing art therapist, I embrace my own creative journey through beading, photography, gardening, and traveling. Art therapy is a recognized profession regulated by the American Art Therapy Association (AATA) and credentialed by the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB).

Transform Your Life with Counseling & Art Therapy

Healing is a journey, and every step forward matters. Through counseling and art therapy, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your emotions, find clarity, and develop the tools needed for personal growth and transformation.
