What is Art Therapy

Art therapy is a way to explore thoughts and feelings through creativity — no art skills needed.

Using drawing, painting, and gentle movement, it helps children and adults express what’s hard to say, process emotions, and feel more calm and connected.

It’s especially helpful for those navigating stress, trauma, or big life changes. I guide the process gently, at your pace.

How Art Therapy is Different

Unlike traditional talk therapy, art therapy works with both the conscious and the subconscious mind.

Sometimes, what we can’t put into words still finds a way to show up in the art. Through color, shape, and movement, deeper emotions and experiences can be expressed — even without knowing exactly what needs to be said.

This process can bring insight, healing, and connection in a way that feels natural and safe.

Who would benefit from Art Therapy

Art therapy is for people of all ages — children, teens, and adults.

It can be one-on-one, with families, or in groups.

We use creative tools like drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, photography — and more.

You don’t need to be “good at art.”
You don’t even need to feel creative.
In fact, no art experience is often a great place to start.

Is it a art class

This is not an art class. You won’t be judged on what you create or expected to make something beautiful to take home.

In art therapy, the focus is on the process:

• what you feel while making art
• what thoughts come up as you create
• what your image might mean to you
• and what your body and subconscious may be expressing through the materials

Art therapy can gently support you to:

• understand yourself more deeply
• see challenges from new angles
• ease anxiety and overwhelm
• process grief, trauma, or big emotions
• reconnect with your inner strengths and goals

You’ll be guided at your pace, in a way that feels safe and supportive.
