I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be presenting alongside People Leave Cults Ashlen and Erin at the AATA2024 Virtual Conference organized by the American Art Therapy Association American Art Therapy Association

Join us as we explore “Cult Recovery, Complex Trauma, and Art Therapy: A Comprehensive Approach.”

This presentation delves into the intersection of cult recovery, complex trauma, and the innovative application of art therapy as a transformative modality for survivors. Coercive control, a subtle yet insidious form of abuse, often leaves survivors grappling with complex trauma, a multifaceted and enduring aftermath that challenges traditional therapeutic approaches.

My Story

After 7 years of making ceramic objects, I corrected course to something deeper that’s called to me since my youth, the study of soul. This is also known today by many as psychology. To pursue my fascination of sorting through the soul via creative expression, I’m getting a degree in Art Therapy from Alder Graduate School. You’ll see here on my page daily musings through snippets of my life or digital work I create to remember my favorite quotes that inspire me. I hope you find them refreshing and if nothing else I hope they come accross as a not negative thing to keep in your FB feed. Thanks for reading.
