What people are saying:

I can't thank Victoria enough for the space and support to heal with other women through art, and fun." Michelle E

Thank You for the great class Saturday. I really did enjoy it and left feeling like I really did learn something about myself and letting go and to try to just be a bit more accepting and relaxed about who and where I am. So thank you!!

Thank you so much for what you have brought to my life. It is the first time in almost 3 years I have found anything or anyone that brings me so much peace and happiness inside (except for the ocean, of course).

See the events tab above for more info on workshops.

Many times, answers and wisdom come to us while we are calm and in a relaxed state...here is where the wisdom reside

Would you like to have a creative practice in your life? Does judgement get in the way of you making art? Or for that matter, do you find you judge everything you do including yourself and where you are in your life? Would you a like a creative practice to help you move past judgement, promote healing and bring joy into your life? Something to turn to when you are overwhelmed, stressed and/or just for fun! Maybe you don't know where to begin. Yes, there are coloring books, but what if you want to learn to create from scratch?

Other Creative Opportunities

I can work with you whether you are in Los Angeles or outside of the Los Angeles area. If you are not local, we can arrange to do phone sessions. If you are feeling blocked creatively and in need of creative mentoring, I'm happy to support you in that area as well. I'm available to come to you for one-on-one and women's creative group sessions. I lead monthly The Art of Mandalas, Open Mixed Media Art Salons and Paper Collage Techniques workshops.

Sometimes our lives are just too busy to make a weekly commitment or, we have an illness or some other life limitation that makes it difficult or impossible to get to sessions. I am here to work with you via phone and whatever works for you.

How to Choose a Therapist?

So, you've been told you should see a therapist or, you have come to the conclusion by yourself that you need help and support through a difficult life event. So, now what do you do? You are too embarrassed to ask a friend for a referral. You decide to go online and search the therapist sites, but come up blank because there are so many of them. And really have no clue how to select a therapist that is a good fit for you. Here's what you do:

!. Decide if you want see a man or a woman or if it doesn't matter.

2. Know the approximate age range of the therapist you would feel most comfortable with.

3. Do you need someone who takes insurance or out of pocket only?

4. If you have a specific issue you need help with ask them what their experience is with that issue.

5. Bottom line, when it comes to selecting a therapist, the most important thing to be aware of is whether you feel comfortable and safe with the clinician.

Process Art

Process art is a powerful tool to decrease anxiety, manage depression and promote healing. In these 3-hour workshops, you will work with collage, mixed-media, mandalas and paint that requires no art training...learn as you go. Relax and have fun. Connect with others.

Inspiration

Follow your bliss.
If you do follow your bliss,
you put yourself on a kind of track
that has been there all the while waiting for you,
and the life you ought to be living
is the one you are living.
When you can see that,
you begin to meet people
who are in the field of your bliss,
and they open the doors to you.
I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid,
and doors will open
where you didn't know they were going to be.
If you follow your bliss,
doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.

~Joseph Campbell
