What if the path to healing and growth can come from developing and building compassion as you learn to listen to, and understand your self, in new ways. And what if using creative and transformational approaches is a realistic route to change. And what if the start is doing it together.
As a NYC, and NJ, licensed Art Therapist/Psychotherapist /Coach with 20+ years experience, who is also trained in IFS, AF-EMDR and AEDP, as well as Somatic Psychotherapies, I have seen the power of Art Psychotherapy combined with other alternative approaches making THE difference.
Most clients seeking Art Psychotherapy come when struggling with relationship challenges, anxiety, grief, complex trauma, stress, depression, self-esteem and/or to explore life transitions. And with 10 years as an Assistant Professor, Career Counselor, Coach at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), I offer Career as well as Creativity Coach, having an active art making and selling process of my own.
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.
