Expressive Arts Therapy is rooted in mindfulness, experimentation, and play. We prioritize what arises in the present moment and follow it without judgment about skill or talent.

In the Expressive Arts studio, we can explore many art modalities, depending on what the client is drawn to, including painting, drawing, clay, sculptural installation, storytelling, movement, theatre, poetry, journaling and dream work. We often work intermodally, weaving from one art practice into another.

Through creative expression, individuals may discover new ways to tell their stories, unearth resources, and develop healthier ways to navigate the world.  

"Play is experimental; it opens up the possibilities of the world. We suffer when there is no play-space, no gap between what we are and what we can be...This is true as much for therapy as for art-making. In order for either to be effective, they must be carried out in an attitude of playfulness, open to possibilities and discovery." Stephen Levine
