WELCOME!

We are each a beautiful mosaic of experiences and emotions. Some pieces are whole and some pieces are broken.

I have spent my adult life studying and practicing art and psychotherapy. My experience has allowed me to integrate these disciplines in a profound and helpful way.

Creative Arts Therapy can provide objectivity and perspective to find and use our authentic voice, allowing us to make new connections toward the changes we wish to see in our lives.

Not just therapy as usual.

What is Creative Arts Therapy?

Creative Arts Therapy uses expressive means to treat emotional, somatic and mental health conditions.

Creative Arts Therapy can help you understand your emotions and learn self-regulation to keep calm and learn to respond rather than to react.

Creative Arts Therapy does not require any artistic ability. We help you channel thoughts and emotions through artistic expression of any kind.

Creative Arts Therapy provides a universal language for communication, within the safe context of connection.
