Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I utilize creative expression as a way to approach issues such as substance abuse, PTSD, anxiety, depression or relationship issues. Creativity offers an indirect way to approach challenges, it helps someone to gain a sense of power. In a session, I use creative expression in an organic way, it can be integrated into discussions, or it can involve creative expression such as role play, drawing, movement etc.. I specialize in working with adults and children who have experienced various forms of trauma, PTSD, sexual trauma, substance abuse, high conflict relationships, adolescents and young adults.
