how the therapeutic process works for you

I am a Registered Expressive Art Therapist (REAT) and specialize in utilizing painting, clay, sculpture, sketching, coloring, drawing and music in conjunction with talk therapy for purposes of healing. Our hands often find the words our mouths can't and art making becomes a place to grow and heal. Although I mostly work with adolescents and teens in art therapy, I do use expressive art therapy with all ages. Please contact me to set up an Expressive Art Therapy consultation. You do not have to be an artist, or even artistically inclined, to do Expressive Art Therapy and all supplies are included, as a trained Registered Expressive Art Therapist and Studio Arts Instructor at Alaska Pacific University,  I will facilitate teaching you what you need to work in this therapeutic process.

Depression, fear, anxiety and stress are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. In our work together I will be utilizing techniques including creative arts therapy, mindfulness, positive psychology and strength-based therapies to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
