Expressive Arts Therapy is a form of therapy that facilitates self exploration and expression using creativity, imagination and art. Beneficial for all ages, it can act as a space for healing to acknowledge and explore the complexities of our inner worlds in a safe, non-judgmental and culturally sensitive environment. It is an alternative or complement to traditional talk therapy. Unlike talk therapy, which primarily relies on verbal communication, Expressive Arts Therapy encourages non-verbal expression through creative activities. This doesn't mean that we don't talk. But this approach can be especially helpful for people who struggle to put their feelings into words or want to expand their creative expression.

No artistic skill is required! Expressive Arts Therapy focuses on the process of creation rather than the final product. It is a gentle, accessible therapeutic approach that's about self-expression, not artistic ability.

Sessions may include painting, drawing, sculpting, movement, poetry, storytelling, and more. I believe in meeting people where they are and and tailoring activities to each person’s needs and comfort level.

I welcome individuals from all backgrounds, sexual orientations and neurotypes—anyone can benefit from Expressive Arts Therapy! It’s especially helpful for people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and stress. I’m particularly passionate about working with folks exploring their race, culture, gender, neurodivergence and sexuality. My services are geared towards those seeking to unlock their creative potential and use it as a tool for self-discovery, emotional release, and personal growth.
