WELCOME, I’M SO GLAD YOUR HERE!
HI, I’M KALLE. 👋 I’M A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR AND REGISTERED ART THERAPIST. MY PRACTICE IS 100% virtual based in Michigan.
I combine creative art based healing approaches with traditional talk therapy. If you are looking for a different therapeutic approach and are interested in being creative, art therapy might be a good fit for you. You do not need any previous art experience to use art materials to explore feelings and create healing.
I help my clients learn and deeply understand their brains so they can start working with their brain and body and not against it. I work with my clients to unlearn the lies of ableism, capitalism, neuro-normativity, heteronormativity, etc. We collaborate to challenge and change your internal narrative of yourself, while addressing shame. I help my clients to reduce overwhelm by firmly planting roots in their values on an existential level.
why art therapy?
Today in our modern health care approaches we call expressive therapies “non-traditional.” From a historical perspective, we know this is anything but true, and that art, dance, and ritual in community have been the traditional practices of communities across the world. Body-based approaches such as art therapy can access a part of the brain that is not governed by language. Art-making helps us bypass the limits of what we consciously know and tap into different layers of thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. This helps us access new perspectives and narratives to guide us in moving toward a more fulfilling future.
