There are times when we get stuck in the pain of sadness, discouragement, and disappointment. Sometimes we can shake ourselves out of it. Other times we may feel overwhelmed. When these feelings get in the way of being the person we want to be, having the relationships we want, or getting what we want out of life, you are not alone. Reach out for help. I am an Expressive Arts Therapist, and I guide individuals through painful times to come out the other side. Together, we use different art forms to help you identify and express how you are feeling. This is not art making. It is self-expression leading to insight and healing.
There is a powerful relationship between emotional well being and self expression. I use Expressive Arts to help you access your inner voice. Learning to hear that inner voice helps you recognize your strengths, hopes and dreams. I guide you to use art materials to express yourself, and reflecting on the process to gain insight to live the life you want.
Quite honestly, I think Expressive Arts Therapy is a miracle. I have found that clients leave sessions with an increased sense of confidence and self esteem. If you are wondering about this process, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and answering questions you may have about Expressive Arts Therapy.
