I am an experienced Art Therapist, artist, wife and mother. I experienced that loss of my oldest son at birth due to HELLP Syndrome in 2003. I understand this type of grief both personally and professionally. I also understand the issues that arise when you also struggle with fertility issues following a loss. Becoming pregnant in the midst of these issues requires a mindfulness practice to stay in the present while paying attention to the past and being hopeful for the future. I work from a creative arts-based practice that focuses on your strengths. Art therapy has a way of bypassing the verbal, thinking mind and more directly speaks to the visual, emotional mind. A person needs to stay connected to both as thet integrates the experience of becoming a parent. It also provides you with a visual record of your journey. Henry's Heart Art Therapy is located within an arts community which is rich with opportunity to embrace the arts in many forms. Services are provided in a quiet, confidential space. I offer opportunities for creative exploration throughout the motherhood journey. I provide individual and group experiences.
