Join me for an exploration of your inner self through the lens of art therapy - you will have a chance to spark your own visual creativity, reflect, write, and be in a supportive and uplifting group of peers.
This is an inclusive group for everyone, all backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, genders, and sexual orientations are welcome. We focus on the vast array of aspects that make us human; we find what we believe separates us actually brings us together more often than not through the language of art.
Themes will include mindful self-compassion and getting in touch with our inner child. This will remind us how important the concept of play is throughout our developmental stages. Discussions & artwork will also utilize Carl Jung's theory of shadow & light, the collective unconscious, as well as interpreting Mandalas.
I strive to create an emotionally safe space for groups who would like to come together and connect on a deeper level. Especially those of us originating from other countries, either passing by as visitors, digital nomads, or currently residing here as expats & of course, locals and former expats are all invited and highly encouraged to attend. Creating an international space for expression via the universal language of art & expression is a main goal.
Art directives are designed for an experiential process to ignite our inner fire & desires while softening the inner critic that often accompanies our thoughts, judging & causing blockages to our growth & transformation.

About Lindsay: I am a passionate Registered Art Therapist, Licensed in Marriage and Family Therapy bringing more than 16 years of experience to the field. I was born & raised in the San Francisco Bay Area in the State of California and I've traveled to many countries and lived in many different kinds of cities. I moved to Porto, Portugal about a year and a half ago. So far it's been an incredible adventure!
I'm dedicated to providing individuals of various ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, including adolescents, adults, and families with a humanistic & compassionate touch. By combining my degrees of healing through artistic expression and the clinical practice of mental health, I am able to devise creative treatment plans for individual, family, and group settings.
On a personal note, I love to paint and dance - I thrive within creative environments. By practicing and adding to my own self-care, I learn new ways to improve upon my professional practice and I hope you'll come join me on your journey to self-discovery!
