Before we learned to speak, we expressed ourselves by drawing, playing, and creating—art was our first language, and it holds the power to tell our stories. If you’re feeling weighed down, stuck, or moving through a time of change, therapeutic art can help you reconnect with calm, clarity, and hope.
I offer therapeutic art sessions for adults and teens who want a gentle, creative way to explore emotions and find balance. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, a life transition, relationship issues, a medical crisis, traumatic memories…I have found therapeutic art can bring healing and change in a unique way.
You don’t need to be an artist—the focus is on expression and healing, not perfection. Through materials like paint, collage, or clay, we give shape to feelings that are hard to put into words, and create space for change.
My rate for individuals is $120 for a 75 minute session. For couples its $145 for a (recommended) 90 minute session. Art materials are included.
It would be my honor to walk alongside you as you rediscover hope and light through the healing power of art. I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if this path feels right for you.
