Our creative impulse is a bridge
to our true selves,
to our healing,
and to our becoming.
I use an arts-based approach to psychotherapy, grounded in somatic practice. I help people explore and define:
-
connection to inner resources
-
expanded access to well-being in every day living
-
developing a sense of creative freedom and possibility
-
finding new ways of relating to, processing, and experiencing challenges and difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, grief and distress
Expressive Arts Therapists offer sessions that integrate creative expression (for example; visual arts, creative writing, drama, creative ritual, music, poetry, or dance/ movement) alongside talk therapy and somatic practice as a catalyst for personal inquiry, discovery, healing and growth.
*There is absolutely no previous experience or skill with the arts needed.
Art and the process of creating is a way of knowing
Through the arts and somatic practices, we have tools to support finding balance, grounding, ways of attending to ourselves and ways of managing stresses, anxiety, and mental health disruptions that can add uneasiness to our daily lives.

There are times where we feel stuck...maybe we find ourselves hurting, grieving, or just ready to step into a growing call for change. Perhaps you are experiencing challenges or difficulties (anxiety, depression, overwhelm, grief or loss), and you're wanting new ways to work with the complexities of living.
Private sessions are a solid container within which individuals can find nourishment through the processes and results of creative exploration and therapeutic inquiry.
Here, we step into a different way of being in our lives. We listen in new ways, we learn to hold curiosity for what is and for what might be. We get messy, we slow down, and we explore.
I offer a free 20 minute consultation in person or via phone or zoom, depending on your preference. I'd love to meet with you.
