Work with Me
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults struggling to adapt and find their sense of purpose and self-worth. My clients typically experience difficulties with past or recent traumas, increased or new life stressors, depression and/or anxiety, loss/grief, etc. Together, we can develop tools to help you gain a sense of self-awareness and clearly defined direction, and feel grounded in your life to help you become your most authentic self.
What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy utilizes various different visual art materials such as drawing, painting, clay work, collage, mixed media, photography, crafting, and more. Previous knowledge or experience in art-making is not needed. The therapeutic space is a supportive and non-judgmental zone for you to feel comfortable creating freely.
Art therapy sessions are structured based upon individual goals and needs. There will be plenty of time for both art making and discussion. The artwork created in sessions will never be graded or viewed based on professional quality, rather seen as a lens for self-reflection, discovery, and growth. The information we gather from your artwork will be used to help reach your therapy goals and gain self-awareness.
Trauma
Art therapy can help you process and understand suppressed emotions related to past or recent traumas by providing a safe space for expression and healing from painful memories. You will learn to cope with triggers related to your trauma, reduce anxiety and alleviate PTSD symptoms interfering with your day to day life.
Anxiety
Art therapy can help to alleviate anxiety by calming the nervous system, and allowing for the creative process to flow. Creativity and art making is proven to provide emotional relief through encouragement of expression and improvement of reality orientation and mindfulness. Materials that relieve anxiety and worry can be utilized for your individual needs to help you feel more comfortable with the therapeutic process, and learn to cope with anxiety in your every day life.
Self-Discovery
Art therapy and the creative process will help you to dig deep into your mind and soul to better understand yourself and your emotions. Art can be a powerful tool for processing the past, present, and future, and encouraging exploration of your self and your internal experience. Together we will help you become your most authentic self and work towards living your best life.
