I work with a variety of folxs who are interested in using the art process to promote physical and psychosocial well-being. We will explore traditional studio and folk art techniques to identify inner imagery, invite dialogue and gain self- awareness through expressive art making and story work. For 20 years I worked in the public schools integrating art therapy into the reading curriculum to help students overcome reading challenges and insecurities. I have also worked with women and children escaping domestic violence, women survivors of rape and incest and people wanting to address stress, anxiety, guilt and shame.
I hold space for participants to honor their inner child and move through life's challenges using the art process to grow and heal from past traumas. With a background in special education and art therapy, I am able to integrate art therapy with reading strategies to promote literacy and comprehension, especially with children, who are struggling in school.
You are not alone. I am here with you. Congratulations on taking the first step to being your best self. Every person can benefit from art therapy. No need to be an artist. You will develop a daily art practice of creating, sharing and witnessing art work that will allow you to move toward finding your calm and progress toward reaching your goals.
