Create Art & Wellness is both a therapy practice and a space for exploring the healing effects of art mediums.
The therapy has art in it; the art has therapy in it. No experience in either required.
Â
There are many ways to engage
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:
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.
My approach is unique and embodied. Come prepare to engage with your words, imagination, and body.
Art and play are powerful tools for children who need support accessing, expressing, and managing the complexity of their emotions.

Supervision, Consultation, Coaching, and Mentorship for non-art therapists and art therapists.
Meet Emily (she/her)
I color a 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. Create Art & Wellness was founded in 2019 to offer expressive therapy to my community. In 2024, I launched my online learning school to empower adults to make expressive art as a tool to support their mental health.
​
I love guiding adults and kids to access their own creativity for embodied healing. This means not just cognitive understanding, but truly showing up differently in the world. There is more to your story than words. By using somatic and expressive approaches, you can release the patterns that hold you back from thriving, get out those bottled up emotions, access a deep well of compassion and support, and develop a confident and integrative life.
​
Your uniqueness is welcome here.
