Taming the Tiger

Hello and welcome.

‍Imagine a space where visual arts, music, movement, drama, poetry, creative writing, and play come alive—not just as creative outlets, but as powerful pathways for healing and self-discovery. That’s what Creative Arts Therapy (CAT) is all about.

Rooted in the humanities, where the arts have long supported reparation and meaning-making, CAT weaves together imagination and play with contemporary psychotherapy and neuroscience. It is a trauma-informed approach that gently supports you in reconnecting mind and body, exploring life’s obstacles, and uncovering deeper meaning, connection, and possibility.

Through this process, CAT invites you back into a relationship with yourself and the world—helping you reconnect with lost or hidden parts, and release shame in a deeply personal, embodied, and compassionate way.
