As a trained art therapist and professional photographer with 15 years experience, I can help you use photography to experience healing and insight. The camera can be like your own “third eye” and controlling it to take images of your choice can be a very powerful therapeutic tool. Art and therapy are inextricably interwoven, and opening yourself up to creativity can remove internal blocks and barriers.
