Hey, I’m Alisha.
Founder of Essence Expressive Arts.
I am passionate about harnessing the transformative potential of creative expression, and the profound impact that art can have on emotional well-being.
At the heart of this work is the belief that creativity is a doorway to your essence—the deep, vital core of who you are. In a world that often pulls us outward, the expressive arts offer a way to return inward, to reconnect with your inner voice, and to honor the full range of your experience.
Essence Expressive Arts invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and engage the arts as a pathway to reflection, renewal, and authentic expression. Whether you are seeking clarity, connection, or simply a creative place to land, you are welcome here.
My Approach
My approach is rooted in the belief that creativity is an innate source of wisdom and healing. I draw from a blend of depth psychology, and expressive arts to offer a compassionate, client-centered space where you can safely explore your inner world through creative expression.
Each session is intermodal, meaning we move fluidly between artistic forms—visual art, writing, music, movement, and imagination—depending on what best supports your process in the moment. You don’t need to be an artist to benefit from this work. The focus is not on the final product, but on the experience of creating as a way to access insight, transformation, and emotional integration.
Expressive arts sessions can be a powerful stand-alone approach or a meaningful complement to traditional models of therapy, enhancing healing through creative exploration.
Creativity has carried me through profound personal loss, including the recent devastation of losing our home in Altadena. It is this lived relationship with the arts as a lifeline that informs my deep respect for your story and your creative process.
