Do you know you need therapy, but the thought of sitting face-to-face talking about your feelings for an hour sounds exhausting or incredibly awkward? Maybe you can talk circles around your problems but still feel completely stuck, or you simply don’t have the words to describe the heavy stress you’re carrying.
Through Art Therapy, I support individuals 12+, navigating anxiety, depression, perfectionism, self-harm, and major life transitions. Rather than treating you like a checklist of symptoms, we use the creative process to bypass the analytical mind and process emotional pain without any pressure on the final artwork.
I offer a warm, humanistic blend of art therapy and psychotherapy tailored to your unique needs. In my sessions, there is zero pressure on artistic skill or the final product; we focus entirely on the raw creative process and intuitive mark-making to process heavy emotional pain, reduce burnout, and safely explore deeper internal patterns.
Growth and healing are rarely linear, and taking the first step can feel daunting. Whether you are a parent searching for support for your teenager, a young adult navigating a messy life transition, or an adult looking to process grief and rebuild self-compassion, you don't have to carry it alone. Let's let the materials and art carry some of the weight.
