As an art therapist, Brenda can help you express emotions that may be too difficult for you to talk about. Art and the creative process, offer an opportunity to explore painful thought and feelings in a safe and supportive environment. It involves a wide variety of art materials such as collage, pastels, oil pastels, clay mask making, painting or sculpture, to create a visual representation of thoughts and feelings. It requires no artistic experience!
