ArT is Therapeutic

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose  ourselves at the same time   Thomas Merton

ART speaks Loudly ~ Art heals Softly

Art is a very powerful medium for facilitating personal growth and awareness.
​I facilitate the use of art in a safe and confidential environment allowing the individual creative freedom to explore their inner selves and their life stories. Art has a profound way of facilitating one's personal development, exploring one's beliefs, developing coping skills, increasing self esteem and relieving stresses. Various projects and mediums are explored within the process.
​Artistic talent is not required for this healing process. I may also utilize energy healing, such as EFT, Psyc-K, and also NLP

Sometimes we need support overcoming life's many hurdles, traumas and our histories to find our balance again. We need a safe place to tell our story and creatively explore who we are and how we begin to heal.  Art Projects and healing mediums like EFT and NLP can often provide new resources. I provide individual a creative yet respectful exploratory process for dealing with life issues, motherhood, menopause.

Utilizing art and play in a therapeutic way allows our children a safe and comfortable way to communicate. Creating art helps many facets of life by develop new skills, building resiliency, self  awareness and helps them learn about their particular situation , themselves and others in a more whole way.

It takes time for youth time to build trust and an ability to heal at their own pace.
