Hi! I’m Tristan. Thanks for checking out my profile. As an abstract artist, I bring a unique focus to collaborative counseling work, including receptiveness to change, a warm and generous spirit, and a commitment to sustaining curiosity, strength-building and appreciation for loving life, especially in the present moment. Whether you are grieving and coping with the loss of a job, pet, friend, loved one, or important relationship, or are simply feeling lonely, overwhelmed, or cooked, I can help empower you to live authentically.

In addition to collaborative problem solving with talk therapy, I also like to use Expressive Arts therapy to help you explore, alter, and appreciate your feelings and skills in response to life demands and life transitions brought about by school, jobs, losses, traumas, and relationships. My open-minded approach is simple – to help you with daily life, including those troubling problems that make you feel you are spiraling rather than locked in, so you can appreciate the calm empowerment of authentic holistic wellness. I will intuitively and creatively explore with you your hopes, goals, fears, and dreams through talking, music, poetry, art making, and your own form of spiritual encouragement to help you love the beauty and promise of life.

Perhaps now is the time to refocus your efforts and emotions on pursuits and relationships that bring you joy and personal meaning. If it’s time to start looking at life differently, I will help you find a path to strength, resilience, and optimistic vibrancy that will let you know you are heard, respected and can take productive steps to truly heal.
