Description

 

As an art therapist, I accompany people living with depression, burnout, trauma, and trauma-related conditions in a clinical setting. In my work there, I weave together the power of visual imagery with Compassionate Inquiry.

In my private practice, I open spaces for Compassionate Inquiry and art therapy—offered individually or gently intertwined.

Through Focusing, I found my way to the body’s inherent wisdom. With Compassionate Inquiry, I discovered a field in which I can move with safety and trust, while supporting others on their own deeply personal paths of healing.

In my work, I trust the inherent intelligence of life processes, which reveal themselves most clearly on the somatic level and guide us, with quiet wisdom, toward the next step.

“Safety is not the absence of threat, it is the presence of connection.”  Gabor Maté
