EMDR and Creativity

Personal Growth through Creative Counseling

If you're seeking a transformative journey that fosters emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being, you're in the right place. Our holistic approach integrates EMDR with various creative therapies to help you unlock your potential and achieve profound personal growth.

You may not know it, but you were born with an innate ability to solve difficult problems by connecting with the rich resources of your own imagination. We’ll use EMDR, as well as different creative tools of your choosing, in profoundly therapeutic ways, making it easier for you to access your own unique well of wisdom. Your authentic source of self-knowledge can help you cultivate a relaxed and present state of being, find freedom from haunting and painful past experiences, navigate current challenges, and heal and grow in ways you never knew were possible - until now.

If you're struggling with one or more of the following issues, my services may be a good fit for you:

Depression
Anxiety
Grief and loss
Trauma
Relationship difficulties
Life transitions
Self-exploration and personal growth
Creative blocks
Physical healing

Here’s how it works…

I offer a number of different evidence-based creative therapy tools that along with EMDR treatment will help you draw from the deep well of your own intuitive knowing and instinctual wisdom. Each of these modalities can be used together or on their own, allowing for flexibility and personal preference. Each is a potent means of connecting with your imagination in a way that allows you to gain a better understanding of where you’re at, what you need, and how to move forward. Once you begin to find freedom from the painful past experiences that are haunting you, as well as the everyday habits that plague you, you can begin to explore the adventurous possibilities of, as poet Mary Oliver puts it, “your one wild life.”

Creative therapies don’t require any art background or “artistic skill” - just an open mind and willingness to try a new approach. Based on your preferences, we will combine Dreamwork, Art Therapy, EMDR, IFS-based Guided Imagery processes, and Sandplay Therapy for a uniquely personal and potent healing experience.
