Happy Spring 2026
Hello everyone.
I feel like I’m just waking from winter hibernation. What about you? The end of 2025 was
a very happy year for me personally and as I move into 2026, I feel this year will be a
wonderful year for me professionally.
Last year I introduced Creative Trauma Focused Therapy (CTFT) to address the
effects of trauma through expressive arts while integrating traditional intervention
strategies, e.g., Narrative, Systemic, Solution-focused, CBT and Somatic therapy.
Hypnosis and play were also added as a means of fostering and developing new
meanings to the traumatic life experiences. Or in other words Resiliency.
CTFT was offered individually, through groups and as a consultation model. While these
options are will available, I am pleased to be offering CTFT Studio time once a month
on Friday afternoon 2-5 starting May 29th.
Studio activities for May 29 th include:
Triptych paintings (Past, Present, Future or Present, Future, Bridge)
Landscape line book (moving towards the future)
Process Painting
Check out the website for more information and look for future blogs where I discuss the
importance of expressive art and trauma healing.
