I’m often asked if art therapy still works effectively via zoom - my resounding answer is absolutely yes! The core of art therapy is connection and self-expression and with a few inspiring tools and processes, it’s a rich opportunity for collaborative art-making.

I have a very unique brain and way of experiencing and processing the world. If there were no such thing as a neurotypical person, my functioning would be considered completely normal and my strengths optimal.
