Living to your fullest potential will take courage, but it can be fun. If you work better with your hands or want to get back into your body and on your feet, take some time to focus on and leave behind negative thoughts. You will find this is a safe place to use as a springboard for setting a more positive tone in your life. You may even connect with others who are lifetime learners. Flourishing doesn't happen alone. It doesn't take a hammer to bloom.
Images, poetry and movement are woven together as a potent means of expressing yourself. People of all ages can use art therapy to gain the ability to make their own choices and feel in control. This is a place where no one will have that “what’s wrong with you” look on their face! This is a place where you are in control!
I offer the most creative and safe environment with a confident and knowledgeable approach uniquely suited to you and your goals for the future. Let me help you find and express your best self today. Please explore our website and reach out today for a free 15-minute phone consultation!
