Hey there! I’m Andrea (Ara), an artist, New York State licensed creative arts therapist, and creative wellness guide.
I believe we all posses innate creativity that can be shuttered away as we move into adulthood. This creativity is a powerful key to deeper awareness and empowerment. I am here to guide you through life’s transitions by awakening your sacred CREATIVE spirit.
Through nourishing creative practices, journaling, and personalized ritual-building, I help you uncover your authentic self by bringing internal experiences into dialogue through creative expression. My mind-body-spirit approach nurtures transformation through art making and evidence-based therapeutic modalities, empowering you to navigate change with deeper self-acceptance, trust, and presence.
So if you are feeling disconnected, lost or uninspired as you move through your day…if you are moving through a season of change….if you long for greater coherence, self-trust and passion for life…I’d be honored to help you dive into your inner world and emerge with deeper presence, understanding and skills to bring with you as you journey through life's twists and turns.
Let’s explore how we can work together…
