In art therapy, we make things together to create a bridge to communication, sometimes staying in the metaphor, and other times using the art product as a jumping off point for verbal discussion. When using narrative therapy, we find new and creative ways to look at old, unproductive stories. We create goals together. I provide the solid, predictable framework and ongoing support, as well as parent coaching. We create opportunities for deep insight, meaningful growth and healthy risk-taking.
With children, teens and adults, I use evidence-based, neurobiological, trauma-informed, CBT and psychoanalytic art and verbal approaches, while offering opportunities for connection, compassion, emotional regulation, flexibility, and enhanced personal competency. I am especially fond of somatic and mindfulness approaches to support emotional regulation.
Art-making, poetry and movement offer fresh perspectives; new endings to old stories. You don't have to be an artist to connect with the authentic parts of yourself that are engaged and alive. For more information on art therapy, check out the American Art Therapy Association website, arttherapy.org. Let’s find your ta-da!
