I love helping people learn about themselves and grow through arts-focused exploration. Dance, music, theater, writing, and visual arts have had a profound effect on me throughout my life. My vision is to share this experience with my clients and community. My belief is that the arts are a powerful tool to affect individual, community, and social change.
My focus is on the arts and creativity. The arts are the language of our deepest human connection. We all thrive with connection. The arts help us tap into the healing that is within all of us.
You are an artist. You are a poet. You are a singer. You are a dancer. You are creative.
Many people have "creativity wounds."
A time someone; a teacher, a parent, told you you're not good enough and it stuck.
You're still telling yourself that same old story of shame...
It's stopping your creative potential. It's holding you back from speaking out or speaking up.
I believe in the power of working with the arts in therapy as an active approach to:
-
to illuminate issues
-
reduce anxiety and self-judgement
-
increase self-esteem
-
enhance relationships
-
cultivate and nurture creativity
-
resolve emotional conflicts
-
allow for deeper exploration than just talking
-
build confidence
-
improve self-worth and self-acceptance
-
gain self-awareness
-
develop focus and expression
-
increase life satisfaction
-
work through grief and and old creativity wounds
Supporting you on your creative journey,
Taisir
