ART, a form of EMDR, is incredibly fast and effective at weakening the grip of anxiety triggers.
Are you tired of feeling upset? Do you find yourself overreacting to situations? Have you tried talk therapy that didn't quite work? You're not alone. Traditional talk therapy often focuses on the mind, but what if the problem goes deeper? These experiences can get "stuck" in our bodies, leading to automatic reactions that hold us back. Many of our beliefs and emotional responses are formed early on, when we are too young to fully understand what is happening. EMDR addresses the body, emotions, and stored past experiences. I'll help you rewrite negative beliefs, process your past, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

I believe everyone has innate wisdom within themselves to overcome whatever obstacles are in front of them. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and families that have experienced trauma and consequently suffering from anxiety, depression, attentional difficulties, sleep issues, developmental obstacles. Expressive therapies offers a unique way to language those issues using art, painting, clay work, journal writing, sand tray play and canine therapy, and they begin to externalize worries and concerns, crisis and trauma through symbols and mastery is gained. When families in pain begin to play together, perceptions of each other are changed, communication is accomplished and individuals experience their true potential.

Life is a roller coaster! So many things have been changing around you that it’s been hard to get your head on straight. Between the ages of 18-45 women have so many roles to play these days, and you’ve been doing your best to keep up. But somehow you always feel like you aren’t doing it “right”. Family, school, work, friends – you’re always expected to perform and rarely get a moment to relax. Expectations come from all sides. The pressure keeps building and you’re just about ready to explode. Anxiety and depression take over. You don’t know how to cope with it all. Your days become exhausting.

You're pretty much a survival-mode expert. You take pride in your robust ability to show up and take care of the shitty parts of life. You've managed and masked well until now. Suddenly your quirks have become magnified, old wounds re-triggered, and the shame and blame intensified; you can't hold it together much longer. Time’s passed and your ability to cope has too - only secretly. You’ve got no one to talk to because you’ve convinced everyone you’re “fine”. You escape to the bathroom to prevent overwhelm-induced public meltdowns. You are stuck, stagnant, and searching for yourself and where you belong...but where to start?

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.
