Now more than ever, children and adolescents need the opportunity to create. The practice of exploring art brings a sense of wonder, reduces stress, and gives voice and agency through self-expression.

EASEL classes provide an engaging environment that embraces the intersection of art and social emotional learning. Participants experiment with visual art media and techniques in a structured, calming creative flow that deepens attention and opens the imagination.

Creative sessions use strategies that increase:

flexibility
patience
perseverance
organization
planning skills
time management

My focus is on supporting the whole person by drawing on their strengths to foster growth. I offer individual and group sessions, educational consulting and professional development services.
