Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative expression to support healing and self-discovery. It gives you a way to communicate that doesn't rely on words — which matters, because some of what we carry is hard to express through verbal communication

​

In our sessions, you might draw, paint, collage, sculpt, or work with materials in ways that feel intuitive rather than "correct." There's no right way to do it. The art-making becomes a way to explore what's going on inside you, process what you're feeling, and notice things about yourself you might not reach through talking alone.

​

Art can say what words can't always find yet. Making something — even something messy or unfinished — gives us a place to pause, to notice, and to let things unfold at their own pace.

​

You don't need any art experience, and you don't have to think of yourself as "an artist." Honestly, I'd push back on that idea a little — creating is something all of us do naturally, we just forget it somewhere along the way. Art therapy is a chance to remember.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Art Therapist and Board Certified Art Therapist (LCPC, LCPAT, ATR-BC), and I bring both clinical training and ongoing art practice into the room with you.
