Being Well Through Making Art

I believe that wellness of the mind, body and spirit cannot just happen in one way. I believe that God gives us the gift of creativity to use as a portal to access new thought patterns in the brain as well as experience a greater connection with our creator. As an experienced counselor, I have used creativity with numerous clients and seen first hand the benefits that creativity can offer. When we engage the right side (creative side) of our brains, we are able to handle stress better, make better decisions and even problem solve more efficiently. But when you have never picked up a paintbrush or any art supplies, you might not know where to start! That is where I come in to help you and guide you!

In my one-on-one expressive arts therapy sessions, we will meet one on one via zoom for an hour.  Prior to our session, we will discuss what you would like to get out of the session by first setting up a 15 minute free consultation. Some issues that we may address in expressive arts therapy might be...

• Is your life busy and chaotic, and you just need time for yourself? 

• Do you struggle with negative thoughts, and you want to learn how to quiet your mind and speak kindly to yourself? 

• Do you struggle with feelings of anxiety or depression and have tried talk therapy but found that it wasn't a good fit for you?

• Perhaps there is unresolved trauma from your past that can be resolved through the creative process. 

• Perhaps you just want to create space and press the pause button and learn some techniques to create on your own and to connect with God.

 Whatever your need, these sessions are meant to help you process emotions and resolve conflicts within yourself that may not otherwise be done through traditional talk therapy.  You do not have to be an artist to enjoy the benefits of expressive arts! Anyone can reap the benefits! I would love to connect with you and walk along this journey with you toward wholeness mentally and spiritually. I am licensed in the state of Maryland and accept most insurance. 

 If you live outside the state of Maryland, I offer Expressive Arts Coaching to help with stress management, negative thought patterns and to build confidence. Coaching does not diagnose or treat mental health issues such as anxiety, depression or trauma and is typically not covered by insurance.
