Expressive & Creative Arts
A holistic, multi-modal approach to support positive transformation through the arts and creative expression. This can be done in 1:1 sessions, incorporated into your therapeutic work, or facilitated in group practice.
Art is a powerful vehicle for connecting to your inner world.
Talk therapy can only go so far which is why I have expanded my repertoire of tools and techniques to support your growth and healing. As an expressive and creative arts facilitator, I will support you to connect to your inner world in new and different ways. This can be incredibly powerful as it will help you Access, Release and Transform (ART) stored stress, unprocessed emotions, and self-limiting beliefs. In doing so, you will feel a greater sense of flow in your body and in your life as well as greater self-awareness. The expressive and creative arts focus on the process of art making instead of the final product. This creates a space for you to shift from perfectionism or the binary way of thinking that organizes life through the lens of good/bad or right/wrong. Through the process you will be supported to practice acceptance, allowing, trusting the unfolding, and also meeting any part of yourself that blocks the natural flow of your authentic self-expression.
