Carolyn believes making art and being creative are inherently healing, and loves to tailor art experiences to fit the interests and goals of her clients, whether they are skilled artists or have not made art since they were young children. She is passionate about helping her clients gain greater self-understanding and self-acceptance through making and discussing many types of visual art, including drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, jewelry-making, found object and assemblage art, and fiber arts. Carolyn has experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, body image, self-esteem, perfectionism, autism, and ADHD.
Art therapy involves using art-making to explore emotions, thoughts, relationships, etc. This can be especially helpful when it's difficult to put things into words.
I have immediate openings to meet with clients in person and virtually. Please reach out to Transcendence Therapy Group to learn more.

I help clients use art to improve self-confidence, deepen self-understanding, and process emotions that can be difficult to verbalize. A typical session would look like checking in, me offering a prompt to create art related to your goals and challenges, then discussing what you created and how insights from your artwork can apply to your life.
