Art Therapy in Crestone, CO
With children I almost always incorporate play and art therapy, and many teens and adults enjoy these as well!
The idea of finding a therapist can be daunting, especially for those who are already feeling overwhelmed. I take a low pressure approach that allows for safety while we build trust. I have a passion for working with youth; most of my clients are aged 5-35 struggling with history of trauma, frequent anxiety, and difficulties with regulating emotions and/or behaviors. That being said, I’ve recently done some wonderful work with older adults as well. I am especially passionate about helping individuals who have had difficulty enjoying therapy previously, as I believe sessions should typically feel empowering rather than upsetting.

You’ve spent so much time holding it together for everyone else that you may not even remember what it feels like to put yourself first. Maybe you’re overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or carrying experiences that still feel heavy long after they happened. You don’t have to keep doing it alone.
I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the lasting impact of difficult life experiences. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected from themselves, constantly “on,” or wondering why it feels so hard to cope when they’ve been strong for so long.

I take an eclectic and individualized approach: Creative Mindfulness, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Art Therapy, Somatic Experiencing and more.
My passion is working with those who have experienced trauma, marginalization and discrimination, disassociation, burnout or stress, and identity questions. If you don’t fit into these experiences, but would like to reach out, please do! Research shows that the client-counselor relationship is one of the most important factors to affect healing and I’m happy to meet anyone with that goal in mind. The loneliness and disconnection from ourselves that we experience can be overwhelming. Sometimes it is hard to know where to begin when we feel stuck, fragmented, or far away.

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.
