Art Therapy in Manlius, NY

If you feel overwhelmed, disconnected or simply burned out, I am here to offer support and tools that can help you reclaim your vitality. It's incredibly common for people to experience daily struggles with trauma, attachment, communication, and social challenges. It's also common to deny ourselves the support we need to navigate these issues so we can thrive instead of survive.

I provide concierge billing and sliding scale prices.

I work with a variety of folxs who are interested in using the art process to promote physical and psychosocial well-being.

You lie awake at night, going over the day again and wondering where it all went wrong. Before you have time to figure it out, yet another hectic day has begun. As a parent of a child who has experienced a challenge or traumatic experience, it's like you're being asked to do it all. The problem is that there's never enough energy, time, or information to manage the difficult behaviors. Before you know it, you've seen multiple therapists and nothing seems to work. The parenting suggestions just don't fit the socially awkward tantrums, fits of rage, or your child's need to control. You're nearing the end of your rope, but what's next?

I believe that the therapy process should support clients in their further investment in themselves and help them to grow into the person they desire to be. This therapy process applies to the various client systems I work with, which include individuals, children, adolescents, couples, and family systems. I firmly believe that change occurs when we become aware of negative patterns/cycles; it is my role to cultivate an emotionally safe environment to allow for such exploration and restructuring.
