Areas of Focus
Depression
“The worst of depression lies in a present moment that cannot escape the past it idealizes or deplores.”
- Andrew Solomon
Trauma
“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
― Peter A. Levine
Anxiety
"Anxiety is not an illness to be cured. It is a signal to be understood."
- Britt Frank
Pregnancy & Postpartum
“Everything is fine on paper, just as it should be. We should be having the happiest times of our lives. Yet we squint, visor our hands to our foreheads to try to make out the path, and all we see is shadow.”
― Sarah Menkedick
Life Transitions
"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance."
- Alan Watts
Identity & Meaning
"We are all meaning-seeking, meaning creating creatures and when we experience the loss of meaning, we suffer."
- Jame Hollis
Depression.
Everything can feel heavy, flat, or far away, even the things you used to love. We’ll move at a gentle pace, using creative expression to give shape to what’s hard to put into words and to find small openings toward energy, connection, and hope.
Anxiety.
Your mind won’t slow down, your body won’t settle, and the “what ifs” keep taking the wheel. Together, we’ll get curious about what your anxiety is trying to protect you from, and use art and body-based tools to help your nervous system learn what steadiness feels like.
Life Transitions.
Endings, beginnings, and the uncertain space in between can leave you feeling unmoored. Creative work can help you slow down, make sense of what’s shifting, and begin shaping the next chapter on your own terms.
Trauma.
What happened may be over, but your mind and body may still be bracing for it. Trauma often lives beyond words, and art making gives you a way to process it without having to explain or relive it. At a pace that feels safe to you, we’ll work with your nervous system rather than against it, using image and creative expression to release what you’ve been carrying.
Pregnancy &
Postpartum
Pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood can bring joy, grief, fear, and exhaustion, sometimes all in the same day. This space is for birthing and non-birthing parents alike. Art making offers a way to express what’s hard to say out loud, to make room for all of it, and to feel less alone as you grow into this new role.
Identity & Meaning.
“Who am I?” and “What matters to me?” are questions that don’t have a finish line. They run through every stage of life and through so many other struggles, including transitions, relationships, and healing. Creative expression gives you a way to explore these questions over time, and to keep creating a story that feels true to who you are.
