It's been a lot. I feel it too. the stress, overwhelm, overstimulation, the pressure, the busy brain, the fog, the sense of doom and waves of fear, grief, anxiety and anger - the hopelessness. The longing for things to be different so we can be the parents, the partners, the community members we want to be. You are not broken or alone - although it sure can feel like it for those of us who are queer, trans, fat, broke, neurodivergent, non-monog, kinky, disabled...we have already worked so hard to arrive and stay here! Living is collective work - its better when we do it together. I can't wait to meet you.
Art therapy is a psychotherapeutic body-based practice that uses creative inquiry and expression — such as drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and other art forms—as a way to explore emotions, process experiences, and support us through times of distress, transition, loss, complexity and uncertainty. You dont need any experience with art to benefit.
The therapeutic art practices that I will facilitate in our sessions will meet you wherever you are and will be co-created with you based on your interests, desires and longings. Most of us have not had the chance to explore the creative parts of ourselves in the ways we want, so for many therapeutic art practices can feel like relief and possibility.
