Art Therapy 艺术治疗
Art therapy is an expressive mental health profession that uses creativity and active art-making to support emotional, mental, and overall wellbeing for individuals, families, and groups. During art therapy sessions, a wide range of modalities may be used, including drawing, painting, mixed media, collage, sculpture, doll-making, journaling, creative writing, photography, music, as well as embodied practices such as meditation, movement, and dance. It is a profession that celebrates arts of all kinds.

My professional art therapy experience spans multiple clinical settings, including adult inpatient psychiatry, addiction recovery (PROS program), and outpatient mental health care. My approach is based on the belief that art-making is inherently therapeutic. Creating art promotes creative self-expression, mindfulness, autonomy and agency, hope and resilience, as well as nervous system regulation. My orientation in practice is relational, person-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based.
