Much like who we are and how we experience the world is unique, self-expression can take limitless forms. By tapping into the creative parts of ourselves, we can learn more about what makes us unique and powerful. Wren honors that each client is the expert of their own life, and as such, seeks to co-create a space for growth and self-efficacy in the therapeutic process. Wren believes that everyone can benefit from the practice of art making.

Therapeutic Approach 

Wren is excited to provide talk and art therapy to children, adolescents, and adults at Creative Psychological Health Services. Using an art-based approach allows Wren to work alongside clients as they explore their strengths, work towards their goals, and navigate life’s challenges. Wren values a relational aesthetic that values art making for its ability to build and maintain healthy relationships with the self, with others, and with the broader community.
