HI, LOVES

I am a practicing creative art therapist, artist and art educator who holds an MPS in Art Therapy and Creativity Development from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, as well as an ATR (Registered Art Therapist) by the Art Therapy Credentials Board, Inc. and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in Washington state.

I’m here to offer:

Current Offering:

I am excited to announce an all-awaited art therapy group, meeting in-person (also available live on Zoom) at 1403ArtSpace in Seattle. Our November session is Sat Nov 30th 1-2:30pm, exploring verbally and through art materials the theme of “Holly-Daze”.

Ages 12+. RSVP: liftholdheal@gmail.com Cost: $50pp via Venmo @liftholdheal.

Ongoing Offerings:

Personal almost-daily art-making, card pulls and morning pages (i.e. stream of conscious journalling) for healthy expression, release, and to raise self/other-awareness. Currently posts are made on Make with Jae Facebook Group and/or Lift Hold Heal Instagram as well as on YouTube, with our current series on Emotions, guided by Brene Brown’s book, Atlas of the Heart. Community contributions welcome!
