Therapist Overview
When words simply aren’t enough, art therapy can help. Whether you’re grieving a loss, anticipating a change, or just plain-old feeling stuck, creative tools can help you access the strength to move forward. I have a degree in Art Therapy and Counseling, which means that I’m specifically trained to use art and artmaking materials to promote mental health and well-being. While adult coloring books have their place, true art therapy is so much more. Think of my art cabinet like a medicine shelf – different media may be better suited to different needs. I understand some of your concerns. “But I can’t draw,” you say. Well, I can’t either. “Isn’t art therapy just for kids?” No, it isn’t. The beauty of art therapy is that you don’t need to be an artist to gain great benefit, and it is proven to work with people of all ages and mental health needs. Together, we’ll find an approach that works best for you.
