Languages: English and Arabic

Daniella is a trained and licensed Art Therapist who invites clients to explore their inner world through creativity, curiosity, and play. In this episode, we talk about the role of play across all ages, how embracing messiness can loosen the grip of perfectionism, and how art therapy offers a powerful alternative to talk therapy, especially when emotions are hard to articulate.

Daniella reminds us that creativity isn’t about being “good at art” - it’s about expression, exploration, and giving ourselves permission to be imperfect. This is a rich, inspiring conversation you won’t want to miss.
