Hi, I'm Reevkah and I'm so glad you're here. Life can be difficult, and finding joy can feel out of reach. But I have seen the transformative power of therapy bring happiness to clients who didn't believe it could happen for them. I feel lucky to be part of my client's journey to reaching their goals - which are more attainable than we usually realize. Many of my clients come to me struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, mom-guilt, infertility, faith crises, trauma and relationship concerns.

I view therapy as a collaborative journey where you can discover inner wisdom, make peace with your past, and create a more fulfilling present and future. I'm passionate about helping people express and externalize internal struggles, conflicts, or emotions. I aim to help clients cultivate a greater sense of self-insight and acceptance through the exploration of their inner selves. I understand that certain feelings and experiences can be challenging to convey solely through traditional talk therapy and emphasize the value of hands-on experiences for promoting emotional healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.

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.
