As an additional dimension of support, I'm able to incorporate art therapy where one has an opportunity to transcend the limitations of words and tap into creative expression.
Life can have its challenges, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed at times. You don't have to face these difficulties alone. If you're struggling, I want you to know that I'm here for you creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely share your story and release the burdens weighing you down in your daily life. My commitment is to ensure that you feel seen, understood, and validated.

You woke up again only to realize your person is gone. Just like that. They are no longer here. Is it even possible to go on without them? The ache in your chest is too much to bear. The tears either won’t stop flowing or they don’t even come. It feels like you’re stuck in a rip current. You see the shore, find some relief, and then the wave slaps you in the face and again you are being dragged under. It’s unfair. It’s gut-wrenching. It just SUCKS! Life doesn’t have the same excitement it once did, and you wonder if it ever will again.

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.
