Biography
Stephanie utilizes a trauma-informed, client-centered, humanistic approach. Art Therapy can bypass our verbal inner critics that block empowerment and healing. Absolutely no artistic skill is necessary to achieve therapeutic goals. In session, Stephanie combines art and conversation with safety and support as foundational for emotional growth.
In addition to the list above, Stephanie utilizes art therapy as needed in combination with other treatment approaches when trauma may be blocking client progress. This collaboration has been helpful for both therapists and clients to develop a visual grasp of the meaning of the trauma. This process has also been effective in working with families in crisis as a short term means for family members to better understand the experience and feelings of each relative participating.
Every aspect of art therapy serves as an insight assessment of the client’s state of being. Stephanie is trained in H-T-P (House Tree, Person Assessment).
