What I offer:

People sitting around a table engaged in a craft activity, with a large vase of multicolored roses as the centerpiece and various crafting supplies scattered on the pink tablecloth.

I provide a supported environment to creatively move through emotional expression- and art making provides an opportunity for imagination, self mastery, achievement, and to increase social interaction snd cognitive functioning. art can also be a place to explore grief or move through emotions using the universal language of visual metaphor.

Art making alongside elders has shown me how art therapy has the potential to enhance quality of life in the later stages of life. The creative process encourages life review and storytelling, to help integrate unresolved conflicts to achieve a sense of wholeness within ones self.

For youth and young adults art making can be a place to explore and strengthen resiliency, flexibility and responding to stress by expanding ones tolerance for exploration snd play, extending range of coping and problem solving strategies, highlighting and building on ones strengths, skills and resources, and learning how to trust ones own capacities through the experience of self mastery.

People sitting at a table decorated with a pink tablecloth and a vase of pink, yellow, and orange roses, engaged in arts and crafts activities with various supplies, including markers, papers, and small bottles of nail polish. In the background, a person wearing a black and white checkered coat with glasses is visible, and there are chairs, tables, and blurred figures in a public indoor space.
