“We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect; we apprehend it just as much by feeling.” ― Carl Jung

Working with Vivien

Struggling with perfectionism, anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, and intergenerational trauma caused by parental relationships can be challenging. If you’re experiencing a “sticky feeling” that’s preventing you from moving forward, I’m here to help. We can work together to unpack these patterns and gain insight into their origins, paving the way for personal growth.
While life continues to move forward, these unrealized feelings can be confusing and overwhelming. Using art therapy along with psychodynamic/attachment theories is a great way to give meaning to these lingering emotions and sublimate them into a healing path.

The only way to overcome some of these lingering feelings is to go through them. In our individualized therapeutic relationship, we will collaborate to diffuse and incorporate these traumatic experiences to coexist with the present. This will be hard work, and I am honored to be part of your healing journey to discover your authentic self.

Curious About Art Therapy?

Art Speaks

Note: No art experience necessary for our sessions. It is about process, not the product.

We can be our own hardest critics, whether we haven’t picked up a crayon since grade school or are experienced artists. Art can be a great way to create inner dialogue to help you process feelings you don’t quite have the words for. A doodle on a page, an abstract collage, or a small clay creation can be effective ways to find meaning. Together, we can put meaning to your emotions, and it is deeply cathartic. And it can be a powerful way to give words and meaning to that feeling.

Please check back Art Speaks Blog for information and some creative prompts are in the works.
