As a Depth and Jungian psychotherapist, with a background in art and visual effects, I am often looking to find the hidden metaphors in one’s life story and help contextualize the journey that an individual may be on.
You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or addiction and seeking insight into this life journey you are on. Perhaps you seek to understand the complex tapestry your life has become in order to find healing for the pain you have always carried, or maybe you’re struggling with a lack of direction or low self-esteem. I also guide people through the loss that accompanies life transitions, including the death of a loved one, a career change, or another transition such as midlife, empty-nest, divorce, or health recovery.

Fundamentally I believe that all people are innately whole. At our core, we are all kind, compassionate, and connected. Perhaps you have moments when you feel this way, and for a moment it feels like you have come home to yourself. This is who you really are. But most of us have wounding we have acquired in our lives. And this wounding has become internalized and turned into beliefs about ourselves, beliefs like "I am not enough" and "I don't belong." These beliefs often feel 100% real. Sometimes it feels like a vortex, sucking us into a dark pit. But these beliefs are not true- and together we can help you find your way back home.

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.
