At Gradations Studio - Art, Therapy and Wellness, I offer art therapy and talk therapy to those seeking a supportive and creative space to heal. I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, loss/grief and trauma, as well as life transitions and the stress of everyday life. In addition to art therapy and talk therapy, I work to incorporate a variety of modalities and coping strategies to address your unique needs.
I use a strength based, non judgmental, relational approach to support emotional and personal growth. I believe being seen and heard are vital to one's care. When appropriate, I utilize EMDR and IFS frameworks to explore aspects of self and to safely process difficult and/or overwhelming thoughts and feelings.
As an art therapist, I believe the creative act provides an opportunity to heal and transform. Art making can help us imagine new possibilities, bring awareness to old patterns and develop alternative approaches to life's challenges. Art therapy can be tailored to meet individual needs, issues and comfort levels.
