Art Therapy Groups

Art therapy groups can be a wonderful way to connect with others in a therapeutic setting. They are more affordable than one-on-one sessions and include the possibility of building community with folks who have had similar experiences or who are managing shared challenges.

 

If you are interested in a group that is not currently offered, please feel free to contact me to chat about future possibilities.

The Joy of Resistance

Yes, the world is on fire and there is much work to be done. But our ability to access joy is our greatest strength. This is how we resist.

 

In this workshops, we’ll use writing and art to play, deepen our connection to our own values, focus on creating rather than consuming, and access our best selves so we can better face the world with joy, hope, and empowerment.
