DEDICATED TO EMPOWERMENT

Create Art and Wellness is a transformative space dedicated to empowering individuals to embrace creativity as a path to emotional wellness, self-discovery, and healing. Through art therapy services and creative embodiment education, I offer therapeutic art-making and teach people how to connect with their inner worlds, express their emotions, and cultivate mindfulness and embodiment.

My mission is to change the culture around wellness by integrating the power of art into everyday life, fostering a society where creative expression is seen not just as a skill, but as a vital tool for personal growth, emotional resilience, and community connection.

ART HAS A WAY OF KNOWING

From a young age, I found solace in creativity, often with scissors in hand and a trail of paper behind me. Art was my sanctuary when words failed me, especially in traditional therapy. Over time, I discovered how deeply healing creative expression can be.

Through art, I’ve learned that each person has their own unique art language, a way to understand and care for themselves more deeply. My mission is not only to support clients in therapy, but to empower them to use art as a lifelong tool for self-care and self-discovery, helping them develop their personal creative practice.

SHE/HER

Naturally empathetic, I’ve always felt drawn to others, finding fulfillment in being present and offering support. This led me to study art therapy and mental health counseling, combining my passion for the arts with my compassion for others.

My curiosity for neuroscience deepened as I explored the science behind the mind-body connection, confirming what I had always known: art is medicine.

I also embrace other practices like yoga, meditation, and somatic techniques, integrating them into my approach to support healing in a multi-dimensional way.
