Art Therapy in Vista, CA
I believe that we all have strengths and are capable of lasting change. "Flaws" that we see in ourselves are typically adaptive reactions and self-protective in nature. The more we understand the mechanisms at play, the more we can surrender what no longer serves us. By renewing the mind and spirit (increasing insight, self-awareness, and self-acceptance), we can move toward transformational and authentic connection with ourselves and others.

When trouble arises in life, the emotions that come with it tend to be overwhelming, and it can be hard to find the words to describe the problem. This can block the decision making process and halt forward movement. Seeking outside helps solve this. Some people are skeptical about the role that therapy could play in their life, and I can sympathize. Whether you’re a skeptic, or looking for counsel, please keep reading.
My job will be to show you just how capable you are. I will teach you how to cope with negative thoughts when they inevitably happen, and help you retrain your brain.

You may understand your patterns and still feel stuck in them, especially in relationships. Many of the women I work with struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or dynamics that leave them feeling disconnected or unsure of themselves. Some notice patterns around self-worth, body image, or a strong inner critic, while others feel the impact of past experiences or trauma. Often, one part understands what’s happening while another feels overwhelmed or reactive. They’re not looking for quick fixes, but for something that helps things truly shift toward a deeper sense of wholeness in mind, body, heart, and soul.

I use a strength-based, holistic approach that draws from EMDR, IFS, mindfulness, somatic practices, art therapy, and psychoeducation.
You may be feeling like you don’t quite fit the pace of others — like there are steps to complete before you reach the starting line everyone else walked into freely. Maybe you carry exhaustion, anxiety, or grief — wondering how to feel more grounded, creative, or understood. If your identity, transitions, or neurodivergence have brought both gifts and challenges, I see you, and I believe you deserve more than coping; you deserve clarity, resilience, and self-connection. You deserve to feel safe and confident in your relationships, including the one with your own self.

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.
