Some experiences live beyond words. Whether you’re moving through grief, identity shifts, anxiety, or creative blocks, art therapy offers a different way to explore what’s inside. You don’t need to identify as an artist to benefit.

The process—not the product—is what heals.

Art therapy invites you to express experiences and feelings through visual, tangible images. No artistic skill is needed. Through drawing, painting, collage, or simple mark-making, we tap into the nonverbal layers of your experience—freeing stuck emotions and giving voice to the parts of you that have gone quiet.

We have all heard the expression "a picture is worth a thousand words." This can be particularly true when it comes to emotions. Art therapy is powerful because it uses images as a way to express thoughts and feelings that are hard to put into words. The act of expressing experiences and feelings through visual, tangible images is an extraordinarily healing process. It is beneficial for adults, adolescents and children. You don’t need to be “an artist.” You don’t need any special talent. Art therapy is not about making something pretty—it’s about making something honest. This is a space where messiness is welcome, where meaning unfolds slowly, and where you’re free to express yourself in a way that feels natural and true.

Art therapy can help you:

• Access feelings that are hard to put into words

• Process trauma and anxiety stored in the body

• Reconnect to your creativity and intuition

• Explore identity shifts (especially in transitions like motherhood or early adulthood)

• Feel grounded when talk therapy feels too much—or not enough

In sessions, you’ll have space to talk and create. I’ll guide you gently, using prompts when needed, but always following your lead. There’s no pressure to perform—only an invitation to express.
