Art Therapy

“Art Enables Us to Find Ourselves and Lose Ourselves at the Same Time” - Thomas Merton

Where Creativity Meets Healing (No Art Skills Required!)

Art therapy blends creativity with psychology, offering a powerful way to explore emotions, reduce stress, and gain insight, all without needing to be “good” at art. Through drawing, collage, and other creative mediums, we tap into the deeper parts of your story that words might not fully capture. Research shows that engaging in the creative process can regulate emotions, promote self-awareness, and even rewire the brain for healing.

As a Registered Art Therapist (ATR) and LMFT, I often integrate art therapy into sessions in a way that fits your comfort level. Sometimes it’s a structured activity to process emotions; other times, it’s more freeform - letting the art lead the way. Whether you’re using color to express a tough emotion, creating a visual timeline of your journey, or just scribbling out frustration, every mark on the page serves a purpose.

No need to be an artist, just a human willing to explore! Want to know more? Here’s a great resource on the benefits of art therapy!
