If you are a parent struggling to engage with your child, art therapy may be a resource for you. It can be so difficult to guide youth in the midst of family, media and peer pressures. If you're looking for a way to see the big picture and explore alternatives, I will take time to hear you and respond with clear, strait forward discussions based on my own in depth experience.
Images, poetry and movement are woven together as a potent means of expressing yourself. People of all ages can use art therapy to gain the ability to make their own choices and feel in control. This is a place where no one will have that “what’s wrong with you” look on their face! This is a place where you are in control!
I offer the most creative and safe environment with a confident and knowledgeable approach uniquely suited to you and your goals for the future. Let me help you find and express your best self today. Please explore our website and reach out today for a free 15-minute phone consultation!
