Art therapy is well suited to address the needs of those whose verbal abilities are insufficient to express one's emotions.
Use the process of art-making to address the challenges of life. I work with clients dealing with grief and loss, depression, anxiety, stress, or going through life transitions. I specialize in working with adults with cognitive impairment, including Alzheimer's and Dementia, Autism, or intellectual disabilities.

EMDR, art therapy 치료를 통해 당신 안에 내재하는 회복탄력성을 찾는 치유 여정에 함께 하겠습니다.
우리는 과거를 돌이킬 수는 없지만 고통스러운 기억에서 자유로울 수는 있습니다. 우리의 뇌는 스스로 치유하는 능력을 가지고 있습니다. We as human beings, may encounter overwhelming challenges that can leave us feeling powerless or hopeless. The current emotional disturbance and negative thoughts often come from old self-beliefs, deeply rooted emotions from unresolved past experiences that are adverse or even traumatic. we all have inherent ability to build resilience and embrace challenges into growth and healing. I help my clients to reconnect with their resilience, improve insight into their issues, to ultimately find their own path to happiness, hope and a sense of wholeness.

In addition to talk therapy, I also practice Bibliotherapy, a range of different types of Art Therapy, Mindfulness, Guided Meditation, and Sensorium work.
The mere thought of therapy can be daunting, while in actuality most of us ask for advice from those around us everyday. What makes therapy different from asking a coworker, friend or relative for their advice, is my approach to therapy. I believe therapy is allowing you the space to work out issues, the space to feel free and learn about yourself in new ways. Therapy is looking at your thoughts and behavioral patterns for maximum effectiveness to your desired goals. My approach is best summed up in a quote by Benjamin Franklin, “There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”

Has a life transition affected your sense of self, self-esteem, and confidence? Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety and stress? Are you struggling to manage ADHD symptoms as an adult? Is your mental health a barrier to your work as an artist/creative? Liminal spaces are periods of transition that occur between two experiences, places, states, or stages. They can feel challenging, painful, uncomfortable, and difficult to adjust to. They may cause you to feel anxious, stressed, stuck, and unsure how to move forward. Liminal spaces are opportunities to re-evaluate, redefine, creatively problem solve, and transform.

Art Therapy

How does art therapy work?

The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.

Does art therapy help with trauma?

Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.

How long does art therapy last?

The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.

What are the limitations of art therapy?

Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
