Sometimes words aren't enough. Art therapy offers another way of understanding yourself through the creative process. No artistic experience is needed. The focus isn't on creating beautiful art—it's on exploring thoughts, emotions, and experiences with curiosity rather than judgment. Creativity can help uncover new perspectives, deepen self-understanding, and support meaningful, lasting change.

You may feel at home here if life has become more about getting through the day than truly living it. I work with children, teens, and adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, burnout, life transitions, or simply feeling disconnected from themselves. Together, we'll create a safe, creative space to help you reconnect with who you are and move forward with greater confidence, authenticity, and self-understanding.

When I'm not in the studio, you'll usually find me in the garden, wandering a forest trail, or sketching ideas for my next adventure. I'm happiest with my hands in the dirt, paint on my clothes, and bare feet whenever the weather allows. I have a habit of saying, "I bet we could make that," "Grow that," or "Support that." I guess I've always moved through life wondering, "What could this become?" Whether it's a person, a creative idea, or a tiny seed in the garden, I'm continually inspired by the possibility of growth, healing, and transformation. It's the same sense of curiosity I bring to every session, workshop, and conversation. Still curious? I'd love to tell you more.

Every session begins with a warm welcome—often a cup of tea—and a chance to settle in. We'll check in, reconnect with where we left off, or make space for whatever has walked through the door with you that day. Together, we'll decide what feels most supportive. Sometimes we'll spend the whole session talking. Sometimes we'll make art. Most often, we'll do a little of both. We may also incorporate mindfulness or body-based practices, depending on what feels most helpful. There is no right way to do therapy, and you'll never be asked to make art if it doesn't feel right. Each session is shaped around your unique needs, offering space to explore, heal, and move forward at your own pace.

My workshops are an invitation to slow down, make something with your hands, and experience the joy of creating alongside others. While they aren't therapy, they are thoughtfully designed to nurture creativity, connection, and wellbeing. With intentionally small groups, there's space to relax, be yourself, and connect with others in a welcoming environment where curiosity is encouraged, perfection isn't expected, and friendships can naturally grow. Whether you join a monthly gathering or a one-time workshop, my hope is that you'll leave feeling inspired, with something you've made, a meaningful connection or two, and perhaps a little more curious about yourself and the world around you.

The space where we meet is an important part of the experience. Nestled among the trees, my forest studio was intentionally created to feel less like a clinic and more like a place to exhale. It's a quiet, welcoming space where creativity, conversation, and nature come together, inviting you to slow down, settle in, and simply be yourself. Tea is always on, shoes are optional, and you're welcome exactly as you are.
