Expressive Arts Sessions
1:1 & Community Support, with Therapeutic Arts
“Art offers sanctuary to everyone willing to open their hearts as well as their eyes”
- Nikki Giovanni
Art as a Therapeutic Ally
Art is a powerful ally in the personal journey towards presence, love, and integration. Art - whether visual, dance/movement, written word, photography, nature-based, or other medium - offers us a way to explore, process, and share that which resides in our sacred center. Creativity is how we unlock and learn to listen & respond to the call of our wise intuition.
Through process-oriented creation, dip your toe into the waters of creation as a therapeutic ally. Let’s work together.
I mean it when I say - no experience necessary. Both those who do and do not (yet) identify as artists are welcome.
Art as Connection
Art fosters our connection with one another.
Are you looking to gather a group together, to support your therapeutic process - or, perhaps for “fun’s sake?”
Here are some examples of private expressive arts groups I’ve co-created with groups in the past!
Yoga/Dance Paint Night (for all ages)
Expressive Arts for Grief
Mindful Creativity
Birthday/Threshold Art Parties
Movement & Creative Connections with the Natural World
Reach out & let’s explore what’s possible!
FAQs

I obtained my B.S. in Expressive Arts Therapy & Master’s in Social Work. I have studied with process-oriented painting, authentic movement, and trauma-informed yoga/mindfulness practices. I practice expressive arts facilitation. I do NOT offer expressive arts therapy here.
The difference? My role here is not to diagnose or treat mental illness. Please consult your doctor or a licensed mental health therapist for this type of support.
I am a partner in creating expressive arts directives and processing the emotional content that comes up. I facilitate the impact of the creative experience. My work is informed by my social work practice and understanding of socioemotional impact.

This work is focused on the process, not the product. You do not have to know what you are doing - in fact, sometimes the less we know, the better! All are welcome, and I hope that my the end of our time together you will start to build a relationship with the artistic spirit within :)

I primarily work with ages 18+ in a 1:1 capacity. However, that being said! I have specialized experience working with children, and am happy to explore a group offering, personalized mailed package for support, or offering with a caregiver present for littles.
