Everyone has a story. Our stories say something about who we are and how we manage life, how we get our needs met and how we relate. We all have the same basic needs for love, acceptance, connection, significance and purpose. Life can be full of joy and laughter, and at other times there can be deep hurt and sorrow when we need someone with an understanding he art and mind to join us in our journey. My heartfelt compassion and commitment to each person I serve, specifically caring for their unique needs makes all the difference.

ART replaces negative images in the mind that may cause trauma.
Are you struggling to get through the day? Maybe you find yourself feeling triggered, going through repetitive negative cycles, relational issues, trauma, identity, questioning faith, and/or facing anxiety and depression. Do you feel stuck or stagnant? Maybe you're an adult, teen, or pre-teen member of a family system who struggles with family dynamics. All these things may cause you to feel angry or hopelessly ask how I got into this rut. When we are taught to not deal with our struggles and keep our business in the home shame, emotional damage, and relational difficulties often follow.

Art Therapy
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
