You may have tried talking therapies and not noticed any change in how you feel afterwards. I am passionate about working with people who feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed and in emotional pain. Art psychotherapy offers everything that normal talking therapy offers with the added dimension of accessing the unconscious parts of you, in a safe and contained way.
I am empathetic, compassionate and curious about who you are. I offer a space in which you can safely explore your feelings, your fears and your dreams. I work with metaphor, images, art, sandtray, poetry, music, clay, puppets, and the body. Working in this way can bring insight, growth and healing. We can also just sit and talk without any art.
The Gestalt paradoxical theory of change states that change happens when one accepts where one is, as opposed to where one wants to be. I have seen this time and again, and I will work with you to help you feel more grounded and at peace with where you are in your life, so that you are empowered to achieve what you want to achieve.
