Art Therapy in Lake Elsinore, CA
I have certifications in PTSD, Accelerated Resolution Therapy ( ART) Hypnosis, Reiki III Master and Ketamine Assisted Therapy.
My ideal client is someone who feels ready to explore their inner world and make meaningful change, even if they’re unsure where to start. They may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, past trauma, relationship challenges, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking relief from old patterns, looking to regulate emotions, heal from pain, and rediscover a sense of balance and self-trust. My clients often describe themselves as “helpers,”or “thinkers,” people who take care of everyone else but are now realizing it’s time to focus on their own healing.

You’re trying to be a good mom, but you’re drowning in overwhelm. The house is a mess, and you feel paralyzed thinking about everything you need to do.

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.
