During times of stress and transition, seeking therapy can be a source of support, comfort, and even inspiration. My experience has focused on creative and body-centered approaches to growth and healing, including art therapy, trauma-sensitive yoga, dreamwork, and EMDR. This includes grief work and issues that accompany trauma-related treatment, such as anxiety, depression, and existential/spiritual issues. Additional themes in clients' healing work include explorations of relationships, sexuality, and identity. I love working co-creatively with clients of all ages and backgrounds.
Art Therapy involves creating art, often pictures, to describe situations or feelings that may be difficult to verbalize. This can help us to express conflicts, explore options, and illustrate hopes for the future. Attuning to the physical body can provide additional insight into the ways we cope and hold tension physically and emotionally.
Wherever you (or your child) may be on your healing path, I welcome you to speak, breathe, grieve, express, move, and grow in a manner unique to you, and will be honored to witness and support your healing process. Please visit karliemarkendorf.com for additional information.
