I use art and play in therapy when appropriate, finding these to be useful in the therapeutic setting, particularly when working with children and adolescents.
Maybe you are a time in your life in which you are questioning all that you held to be true. Maybe you are feeling lonely, or are wanting more access to that small voice inside you that knows the way to go, but often gets ignored. Whatever brings you here, it takes courage to take the first step and begin. I believe that much of our sorrow and struggles are rooted in relational harm in our past, and that similarly, there is healing to be found in not remaining alone in your experience and process of past and present pain. I would be honored to join you as you step more fully into the stories that have shaped who you are.
