Art Therapy

Tap into your hidden power.

The use of art therapy springs from the idea that creative expression can foster healing and mental well-being.

Through it, we can use art to find resources you don’t readily access in day-to-day life. The act of creation often can provide a key or gateway to parts of you buried deep below the conscious mind.

Art therapy also provides you with time to unwind and express while having a supportive guide in discovering ways to unlock sabotaging patterns.

Your palette. Your vision. Your expression.

That’s what art therapy looks like.

I regularly stock crayons, colored pencils, oil pastels, markers, and more. But it can take any shape or form you want. If you like working with another particular medium, you are free to bring that in.

As you create art, you may analyze what you’ve made – and how it has made you feel. Through exploring your art, you can look for themes and conflicts that may be affecting your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Whether we devote an entire, self-contained individual session to your creative process or weave it as a thread of your overall therapeutic tapestry, I always tailor it to your individual needs.

Reap the bountiful rewards of creative self-discovery.

As we create together, I’ll provide focused directives to stimulate your thinking and nurture your creative process.

You’ll elicit significant metaphor and imagery – elements that will foster your healing. Elements you can use throughout your life.

Art therapy is a valuable investment in yourself, and it can pave the way for powerful transformations in your life.

Anyone who has experienced trauma, violence, abuse, anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues can benefit from creative self-expression for the purpose of mental well-being.

Best of all – you don’t have to be Picasso.

Relax. It’s important to know YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ARTISTIC!!!!!

Really? Yes, REALLY!

Anyone can participate – regardless of artistic ability, talent or age. In creating art, you can focus on your own perceptions, imagination, and feelings. I encourage you to transcend the outer world and create art that expresses your inner being.

Carl Jung once said, “Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.”
