Reconnect & Create: 3-Hour Expressive Arts Therapy Intensive

• Immerse yourself in a transformative, virtual sanctuary designed for women who crave a deeper, more intuitive approach to healing. This 3-hour Expressive Arts Therapy Intensive offers a powerful alternative to traditional talk therapy. It provides a supportive, witness-held space to bypass cognitive walls, unearth your authentic self, and gently dissolve the root causes of your creative blockages.

• Art is inherently cathartic. The act of creating is actually the highest level of critical thinking, demanding our brains to synthesize, innovate, and problem-solve in real time. By stepping away from overthinking, art making allows your subconscious to speak in a completely unique way. It serves as a profound form of meditation—quieting the mental chatter, promoting deep internal calm, and enabling you to enter a restorative flow state where time fades away and true self-discovery begins.

Tailor Your Creative Exploration!

*This intensive is fully customizable to meet you exactly where you are. Using familiar, accessible mediums like paint, drawing materials, or mixed media collage, you can design your three hours around any combination of the following options:

• Expressive Art Assessments: Explore intuitive visual prompts to gain deep, immediate insight into your current emotional landscape and inner world.

• Deconstruction & Processing: Bring existing pieces or safely alter new creations in real time to dismantle old narratives, perfectionism, and emotional weight.

• Pure Art Making: Use the uninterrupted time strictly to create in a warm, deeply supportive space, leaning entirely into the meditative and calming rhythm of the medium. We can explore and process whatever comes up for you- I will be here to support you.

Is This Right For Me?

*While this intensive is a powerful catalyst for growth, its deep and concentrated nature means it is not a fit for everyone.

This Is a Beautiful Fit For You If:

• You feel most connected to yourself when you are creating.

• You process most efficiently when you explore.

• You love or are curious about different forms of artmaking.

• You want to dive deep into self-discovery in a compressed, impactful timeframe.

• You like investigating, looking for clues, and processing your discoveries.

This Is NOT For You If:

• You are currently in acute crisis, actively suicidal, or self-harming. (A 3-hour intensive is too condensed for crisis stabilization; standard, ongoing localized therapy or immediate emergency medical care is needed instead.)

• You are seeking a primary psychiatric evaluation or medical diagnosis.

• You prefer traditional talk therapy. (We will process your experience verbally, but the primary vehicle for our work is active, hands-on art-making.)

What’s Included:

• 3 Full Hours of dedicated, live 1-on-1 therapeutic guidance and deep holding.

• 100% Virtual Attendance so you can create from the absolute cozy comfort and privacy of your own home.

• Customized Session Plan tailored specifically to what you want to work through, whether you want to focus on deep processing, learn more about yourself through pure expression, or engaging in an Expressive Arts based assessment that I will guide you through.

• Pre-Session Materials Guide to help you easily gather your preferred paints, drawing tools, yarn, or mixed-media supplies to prepare your beautiful creative nest!
