Behind the scenes in Art Therapy. My adult sister made this when she was in the 6th grade. I now use her to prop up my ipad at just the right angle for Tele-psychotherapy sessions. 🧡

Living, surviving, celebrating, struggling, quitting, joining, anguishing, creating, dreaming, breathing...it's all art. Be brave. Show it, share it, talk about it, bake it, plant it, paint it, scream it, sew it, dance it, cry it, drum it....be brave. The world needs your art. ❤

My Philosophy of Care

As an art therapist and clinical mental health counselor, I work primarily with adult women who have a desire to explore and transform emotions and symptoms into authentic expressions through art making. Sessions often include talking, mindfulness, somatic grounding, art making, and other forms of holistic and evidence-based therapies. As a humanistic and person-centered therapist, my approach is rooted in a holistic view of what it means to be fully human. Through the process of creative exploration, clients discover strengths and resources within themselves that help them solve problems and recover a deeper sense of self. No previous art experience is needed to benefit from art therapy. Therapeutic art making does not need to be “pretty.” Both you, and your art, are treated with care and respect in an environment grounded in acceptance, non-judgment, confidentiality, honesty, and compassion. Everything that arises is honored. Whether you are feeling challenged by stress, anxiety, body image, self-esteem, co-dependency, life transitions, spirituality, or, trauma ... our work together is an invitation to hope, insight, release, and self-compassion.
