Art Therapy

Art therapy for children and teens provides a creative outlet to express emotions and process experiences that may be hard to put into words. Through activities like drawing, painting, and sculpture, they can explore feelings of anxiety, grief, or trauma in a safe and supportive space. Art therapy helps build self-awareness, boost confidence, and develop coping skills, offering a unique way for young people to navigate life’s challenges.

I love using art as a means of self-expression and connection.

Using creative expression, we'll tap into your emotions and subconscious. Art can serve as a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing. You don't need to be an artist; the process is about self-expression, not perfection.

Art therapy is the approach in which I have the most training and experience. Art therapy is a way of delivering and processing therapy within the context of creation. I studied at the Drexel Graduate Art Therapy program, and have received my Board Certification.

Tapping into our creative mind can open up increased self-awareness and acceptance. We all have unique ways of expressing our emotions and art therapy can open up avenues of self-exploration that some clients have not previously considered.

Art Therapy offers a unique avenue to explore and address issues that are sometimes too difficult to verbally articulate. In sessions, we will use art making as a way to explore and view challenges or issues that are impacting you. You don't need to be "artistic" or even have experience with art, to gain healing benefits of art therapy. I will guide you by providing a specific theme or a particular material, that will help us work towards your goals.

I can't say enough about how grateful I am to have this tool for myself and my clients! Art Therapy is like a very humble, quiet (aka nonverbal), magical, powerful goddess that supports us in reclaiming our inner strengths and having the autonomy to heal at our own pace and depth without feeling confrontational or judgmental. If you want to know more or experience this magic, come and join my art therapy session!

Expressive arts therapy incorporates elements of all forms of creative expression into a multimodal expressive form of integrative psychotherapy (Knill et al., 2005). Often I encourage the use of multiple forms of creative expression to articulate their inner world, including drawing, painting, photography, music, poetry, and role-playing.
