FOR HEALING BEYOND WORDS

All humans have a creative source inside of them. It is from this place where the power to transform and heal arises. It is in you.

Hi, I'm Emily (she/her)

I believe in coloring a little bit outside the lines.

 

While I was completing my graduate studies in Art Therapy, I longed for a neuroscientific understanding of the underpinnings of art therapy. Even 15 years later, I’m still fascinated by the ways that a 16-pack of crayons can, like EMDR, be a powerful tool for processing trauma.

 

While there are many disciplines that look at the effects of art on health, I’ve made it my mission to emphasize the clinical application of neuroscience within art therapy.

 

I see my role as holding space-time where you can feel comfortable enough to explore and discover the unique blocks that prevent your personal evolution. Together, we’ll work towards removing and updating your self-limiting beliefs, so you can be in alignment with who you truly  are.

 

My clients are often people who have experienced multiple transitions, feel lost, stuck, or are unable to make decisions. Many have experienced traumas in childhood and they come to me for support with making sense of their own story, coping with their grief, or experiencing more self-love and empowerment.

Ways to engage

Everything I do at Create Art & Wellness is grounded in deep compassion and neuroscience research. We will be gathering cues from our bodies, doodling on the page, and showing up deeply with one another. Each service offering is a distinct, effective approach towards mental liberation. Consider how you might like to begin:

Art Therapy

Join a group session or meet for one-on-one guidance. If you can draw a stick figure, you can use art therapy to express yourself and heal.

Mental health therapy
 

My approach is unique and embodied. Come prepare to engage with your words, imagination, and body.

Kid therapy

Art and play are powerful tools for children who need support accessing, expressing, and managing the complexity of their emotions.
