Creative Psychotherapy for Anxiety, Trauma, and Life Transitions
Expressive arts therapy uses drawing, sand tray, movement, storytelling, guided imagery, and play therapy to help you process emotions, reduce anxiety, heal trauma, and build resilience. This approach is effective for stress, depression, relationship concerns, burnout, grief, identity exploration, and major life transitions. No artistic experience is required. The process meets you exactly where you are.
Our licensed therapists integrate Jungian depth psychology, Internal Family Systems, DBT, polyvagal theory, somatic experiencing, and lifestyle medicine to support nervous system regulation and lasting change.
What to Expect From Therapy
Your first sessions focus on understanding your goals, your history, and how your body responds to stress. Together we create a personalized treatment plan using expressive arts techniques and evidence-based psychotherapy. Services are available for adults, teens, children, and families, offered in person in Santa Cruz or virtually anywhere in California.
