I work with individuals during the perinatal period, from pregnancy through the first year of life, as well as parents of young children. While the journey into parenthood can be rewarding, it can also bring unexpected challenges such as sadness, anxiety, identity struggles, burnout, and feeling overwhelmed. Whatever you're going through, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I believe therapy should provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, manage stress, and discover healthy ways to cope with the unique challenges of pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.

On top of evidence-based practices such as CBT, I often incorporate the expressive arts, such as art, music, or movement, in warm-ups, throughout the session, or when felt fitting by either me or the client.
Therapy is a process of gaining awareness through exploration. Gaining new awareness of our thoughts, behaviors, patterns, and relationships allow us to live more consciously and authentically. My nonjudgmental client-centered approach, and focus on the client-therapist relationship, will allow us to foster a safe space for new awareness together.

Expressive Arts Therapists

What happens in expressive arts therapy?

In an expressive arts therapy session, the therapist will provide the space and materials necessary to encourage the client to express themselves creatively. These can include art supplies, musical instruments, a journal, a camera, and more. The therapist offers careful guidance throughout the creative process, often noticing and talking about psychological issues as they arise. Many clients also benefit from the mind-body connection—the physical act of making art can help them feel more grounded and present.

How long does expressive arts therapy take?

An expressive arts therapy session will typically last between 50 minutes and an hour. Group sessions may run longer. Sometimes, a client might only need one or two sessions of expressive arts therapy in conjunction with talk therapy to resolve a psychological issue. Others might find a fixed number of sessions over the course of either weeks or months to be beneficial. The duration depends on the client and their individual needs and goals for therapy.

How does expressive arts therapy help children?

Creativity is an important part of normal child development. Expressive arts therapy proves a safe outlet for child clients to learn to identify their emotions and express them in healthy ways. In expressive arts therapy, children can build their self-esteem, discover more about their personality and strengths, and feel a sense of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic world. This therapeutic approach can be particularly helpful for children with developmental disabilities, autism, ADHD, speech impairments, and other conditions.

What are the limitations of expressive arts therapy?

Sometimes individuals have physical limitations that can affect their ability to express themselves artistically in certain mediums. For example, someone with hearing problems might find it difficult to make music. Sickness and mobility issues can make some types of art physically inaccessible (e.g., sculpting, dancing, etc.). Sometimes, clients are overly skeptical and have trouble letting go and engaging with the creative process. Individuals who require a higher level of care may be better served with other types of therapy.
