The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
–Carl Rogers

Expressive arts expand creativity and can be used to facilitate change and growth. The process of expressive arts uses visual arts, movement, music, writing, sound, and improvisation in a safe and supportive setting. I use Person-Centered Expressive Arts and one’s inner wisdom while immersed in the process of expressive arts.

Experiencing the Expressive Arts can lead to:

  • Change and personal transformation
  • Deeper and more creative relationships with self and others

Expressive Arts participants have experienced:
