Do I need to create art in sessions or have any prior training?
No prior art experience is required, and art-making is always optional. Art therapy can support exploration and healing in ways that don’t rely solely on words. Jennifer is trained in both talk therapy and art therapy.

How does EMDR work in conjunction with art therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process traumatic or distressing experiences and reduce the emotional and physical distress connected to those memories. When used alongside art therapy, these approaches can complement one another in a thoughtful and flexible way, engaging both hemispheres of the brain to support trauma recovery. Art therapy may be integrated with EMDR to offer nonverbal or symbolic ways to explore internal experiences, especially for individuals who find it challenging to express their thoughts and emotions through words alone. Art-making can help externalize images, sensations, or emotions, track emotional or somatic shifts, and support a sense of safety and stability. It may also be used between or outside of EMDR phases to promote grounding, regulation, and integration.
How are mindfulness and somatic practices incorporated into sessions?
Mindfulness-based and somatic practices can be incorporated to support nervous system regulation and body awareness, often along with art making. These approaches may include noticing sensations, gentle movement, grounding, breath work, or rhythm.
