Is it HARD to talk about? Not excited to rehash it? Would you like to get through it and past it? Do you wish that it could be fun and also bring about peace and joy? You have come to the right place. You do NOT need to be an artist, but you can be. Can you hold a marker? Scribble? Doodle? You're qualified! Art therapy uses art to communicate and reveal the treasures and patterns about you and things you would like to heal, change or release. It doesn't need to be pretty, but it will be in many ways. It can be playful and ugly at the same time. It is not about the beauty of the artwork. It is about what it reveals and heals.
Healing doesn't need to be heavy or hard… Together through art exploration and talking we can bring you to a lighter, more joyful self. We can move through trauma, grief and the transitions and the stress of everyday life. You will be creating a masterpiece. That masterpiece is a happy, healthy you!
Are you wondering how ART may be used for healing? Wondering how a crayon or a paintbrush may evoke change and illicit peace and joy for you, your child or your family? Please, reach out! This is one of my very favorite things to talk about. Art therapy for ages 3 through 93! We all have an inner child just waiting to dig in. Let's play...and heal.

I have been using art therapy to help reveal what can't be said in words alone for over 19 years. Much of my experience has come from working with elementary children in the schools for over 25 years and the trials and tribulations of life. I also enjoy working with adults and parents.
