Creative Therapy & Coaching
Expressive Arts
As an expressive arts therapy practitioner and coach, I create a safe space for my clients to explore emotions and feelings, reconcile inner conflicts, increase self-awareness, explore behavior patterns, develop social skills, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase self-esteem and creativity.
​
Expressive Arts Therapy is a powerful, process-oriented modality that helps unlock emotional expression by engaging in non-verbal communication. It provides a sensory-based experience that integrates the left and right hemispheres of the brain, leading to a greater balance of mental states and supporting the brain’s ability to rewire neural pathways and create new ones.
My unique, embodied approach facilitates a meaningful dialogue between movement, drawing and imagery, active imagination, and creative writing. This approach gives my clients the opportunity to tap into the language of the soul, which speaks through images, symbols, metaphors, and movement.
​
When we make contact with this deep part of ourselves, it is possible for unconscious material to rise past the barrier of our rational worldview. We are then better able to integrate shadow aspects of ourselves, find purpose and meaning, and connect to our true heart’s desires.
"Expressive arts therapy rests on the premise that imagination is the healer, that encouraging the soul to speak in its own way transforms darkness into light, the hidden and concealed into the open, and thus provides insight and release.”
~Stephen K. Levine
Creative Coaching
I guide performers, writers, actors, and various other artists and individuals to uncover and shape their projects and live their creative dream.
Creative Coaching sessions will empower your creative process, and help you overcome blocks, fears, doubts, and other burdens that might be holding you back. Creative coaching can bring more clarity and structure to your creative life, as well as connect you more deeply to your authentic stories and inner process.
Sessions are designed to support you to be more productive within your art making, as well as open new portals for authenticity, awareness, and personal growth.

“The gift of an image is that it affords a place to watch your soul.”
