My  approach

Digital Art Therapy combines the principles of art therapy with the expressive potential of digital media.
‍
It’s particularly engaging for digital natives and for anyone who feels at ease using technology as part of daily life.

Whether creating in 3D space, animating stories, or painting digitally, technology becomes a bridge between imagination, emotion, and self-understanding.

The Process

In our increasingly digital world, technology shapes how we communicate, play, and connect.
Within therapy, these same tools can open new paths for self-expression, emotional regulation, and authentic connection.

You may work in virtual reality, film, animation, or digital collage — choosing the tools that best suit your rhythm and needs.
‍
Together, we explore how these forms of creation can enhance awareness, empathy, and self-discovery.

Outcomes

Building on my Ph.D. research in Digital Arts Therapy with individuals on the autism spectrum, I now integrate virtual reality and creative technologies into art therapy sessions at the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève (HUG).
‍
These approaches have shown promising results with patients living with chronic illness — fostering emotional expression, engagement, and a renewed sense of well-being.

This work continues to affirm that, when used mindfully, technology can be a powerful ally in healing, creativity, and human connection.

VR 3D Painting
Painting in VR allows you to move freely, exploring color, light, and gesture all around you — a liberating, embodied experience that fosters creativity, emotion, and wonder.
2D / 3D Animation
Animation gives shape and movement to your inner world — transforming experiences into stories that invite expression, reflection, and healing.
Robotics therapy
In my practice, robotics offers a playful way to explore emotions and self-regulation. Guiding robots through symbolic journeys like The Path of Life transforms interaction into mindful expression, connection, and growth.
Digital Painting
Paint intuitively using color, light, and texture on screen. This approach offers freedom to experiment, explore emotion, and transform digital space into a tool for mindfulness and creative expression.

Video Editing
Revisit your story through image, sound, and rhythm. Editing becomes a creative act of reflection and transformation — turning memories and emotions into meaningful narratives.
