Liza feels that art therapy is for everyone. She earned her Master’s degree in Art Therapy from Lesley University and has a deep passion for helping individuals discover their voice through creative expression. Her therapeutic approach focuses on using art as a tool for self-awareness and self-actualization, allowing clients to explore and process emotions that might be difficult or even impossible to verbalize. She believes that through self-expression, people can tap into deeper layers of their experience and begin to feel their way through life’s challenges. She utilizes art materials to foster a safe space where talking is not always necessary—feeling is. She supports her clients on their journey toward emotional well-being, helping them build resilience, and nurturing a sense of empowerment through the transformative power of creativity.
