What is art therapy and how is it different from regular talk therapy?

Art therapy encourages your hands to participate in the healing process. It’s not about artistic talent; rather, it’s about harnessing creative expression to tap into emotions, memories, and insights that words may fail to convey. While we do engage in conversation and reflection, often images can communicate what language cannot. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which remains primarily verbal, art therapy embraces the entire body and nervous system.

What kind of materials will I need for art therapy?

You don’t need anything fancy. I often suggest having on hand:

• Paper (any kind)

• Colored pencils, markers, or crayons

• Scissors and glue (if possible)

• A few collage images or magazines

• Optional: watercolor paints, oil pastels, and clay

I’m not artistic… will this still work for me?

Certainly! You don't need any artistic background to gain from art therapy. It's all about expressing yourself, not achieving perfection. Your doodles, smudges, and imperfections are embraced here; they contribute to your unique narrative.

Do you see couples as well?

Yes! I see both individuals and couples. 

Do you see children?

I currently work with adolescents and adults. My current clientele is ages 12 and up. This allows me to focus on providing developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed care for pre-teens, teens, and adults.
