The Canvas of Life is an opportunity for you to begin the journey towards healing and wellness. It is the first step on the path of cultivating the life you desire so you can thrive. Life can be arduous, at times, for all of us and it is those mountains, valleys, hills, and tough terrains that provide us with the opportunities to learn, grow, and triumph. Tiffany is here to help you along the way through a collaborative, person-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based approach. Creative Art Therapy is utilized because language is only one way of personal expression and words are sometimes not enough. Other therapeutic modalities are utilized to treat the whole person's mind, body, heart and spirit and include the integration of various evidenced based practices. To name a few common ones, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Existential-Narrative Therapy, Relational Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Also, IFS Informed Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy Somatic Experiencing, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Strength-Based, Heart-Centered, Trauma-Informed, and Compassion-Focused interventions, as well as Mindfulness-based strategies, are utilized. More details on specific modalities can be found at www.thecanvasoflife.com
Humanistic, pragmatic, and systematic approaches are the foundation of Tiffany's theoretical orientation, and a strengths-based focus is pivotal to beneficial treatment outcomes. We all possess inherent strengths; we just sometimes need help tapping into them. It is through living intentionally, mindfully and in alignment with self that individuals can create new meanings in their lives and achieve a sense of well-being. Through a holistic and positive approach in counseling, life can be improved, enhanced, and deepened. Tiffany looks forward to meeting you, supporting you on your life journey, and working with you in creating the canvas of your life the way you envision. "To dream is to have hope in a better life,
To create is to believe in the possibilities of the canvas,
To achieve is to manifest that dream onto the canvas of life, and
To thrive is to re-create the canvas of life through the many seasons of change"

With all the colors of your life.....
Live Well.....
Wellness is not the absence of illness. There is a balance among all experiences in life. Discovering your personal rhythm can be a daunting task, and it may take a lifetime to discover. As each season changes, so does your heart song, and your dance with life. No matter the weather or the storm, we grow and change. With transformation, there are new opportunities and adventures to be explored. Breath gives us life, but to be truly alive one must live. What makes you feel the most alive?
