He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.  

                                                                                                                             -Friedrich Nietzsche 

We all need a “why”—focal points in our lives that make Life bearable, meaningful, and, if we are lucky, a wondrous adventure.  

The “what’s” of our lives—work, relationships, activities, etc.—are vital to who we are, but our values—our innermost convictions about what is essential to a life well-lived—is why we are.  Our values make up our most essential “why.”

At Focal Point Art Therapy + Counseling, I partner with you to help you discover or live closer to your “why’s,” even in the midst of Depression, Anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, health problems, and more. Using the powerful tools of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Art Therapy (if you choose to use art materials in therapy—EVEN IF YOU DON’T THINK YOU HAVE A CREATIVE BONE IN YOUR BODY— I will teach how to discover your core values and use them to make new decisions and behave in new ways to live as the person you want to be.  

With your authentic values operationalized as your internal north star, you can “bear almost any how” and live your best life.
