You grew up dreaming about your future family, but now those dreams feel like nightmares. You wake up every day wondering what happened to you family? Why are things so hard? You feel like everyone else has the answers but you. You worry about your children's futures, wondering if they will be successful, happy and healthy. You fast-foreword your child's life and it worries you. What if they never learn the skills to be a good employee, good partner, good person? You imagine what they would be like to have as a co-worker and don't like what you see. You worry that they will never be able to stay on-task and finish assignments.

Feeling like life’s throwing too much at you lately? Anxiety, tough life changes, or just feeling totally out of sync? It’s like your wellness GPS is glitching out, or constantly recalculating. You’re craving that space where you can align mind, body, and soul, but everything feels off-kilter. You need a judgment-free zone where you can untangle your thoughts, breathe, and start feeling like yourself again. A space where your well-being is the main focus, not an afterthought. A holistic – à la WHOLE person – approach to healing and growth.

Do you ever feel inadequate? Ever wish you had more self-control around food? Do you always feel dissatisfied with your body? Maybe you feel as though you’ll finally be happy once you lose weight, work out more or “shape up.” Do you ever avoid certain social events because of food or fear of comments about your eating or body? The problem isn’t your body, food or your “lack of self-control.” You won’t find help in the newest diet or workout trend. “Just eat” or “just stop eating” aren’t the solutions either. You want to feel at peace with your body and as if you have control over food and NOT the other way around. I can help you.

Expressive Arts Therapists

What happens in expressive arts therapy?

In an expressive arts therapy session, the therapist will provide the space and materials necessary to encourage the client to express themselves creatively. These can include art supplies, musical instruments, a journal, a camera, and more. The therapist offers careful guidance throughout the creative process, often noticing and talking about psychological issues as they arise. Many clients also benefit from the mind-body connection—the physical act of making art can help them feel more grounded and present.

How long does expressive arts therapy take?

An expressive arts therapy session will typically last between 50 minutes and an hour. Group sessions may run longer. Sometimes, a client might only need one or two sessions of expressive arts therapy in conjunction with talk therapy to resolve a psychological issue. Others might find a fixed number of sessions over the course of either weeks or months to be beneficial. The duration depends on the client and their individual needs and goals for therapy.

How does expressive arts therapy help children?

Creativity is an important part of normal child development. Expressive arts therapy proves a safe outlet for child clients to learn to identify their emotions and express them in healthy ways. In expressive arts therapy, children can build their self-esteem, discover more about their personality and strengths, and feel a sense of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic world. This therapeutic approach can be particularly helpful for children with developmental disabilities, autism, ADHD, speech impairments, and other conditions.

What are the limitations of expressive arts therapy?

Sometimes individuals have physical limitations that can affect their ability to express themselves artistically in certain mediums. For example, someone with hearing problems might find it difficult to make music. Sickness and mobility issues can make some types of art physically inaccessible (e.g., sculpting, dancing, etc.). Sometimes, clients are overly skeptical and have trouble letting go and engaging with the creative process. Individuals who require a higher level of care may be better served with other types of therapy.
