Certified Wayfinder Life Coach & Licensed Creative Arts Therapist

A creative approach to wellness and wellbeing through art and expression.

Through creative expression we can find deeper meaning, clarity, and wellness in our lives. I utilize a combination of art materials, writing techniques, and body movements tuned to your specific needs and goals to help you realize your greatest potential and find your peace.

“art is not a plaything, but a necessity, and its essence, its form, is not a decorative adjustment, but a cup into which life can be poured and lifted to the lips and be tasted.”

-Rebecca West

Coaching & Wayfinding

Life coaching is a way to help you move forward when you’re feeling stuck, confused, anxious, or lost. I use the Wayfinding method, developed by Martha Beck, to help you discover your North Star. With gentle guidance, and a focus on your strengths and your inner knowing together we find a path forward that is right for you, right now.
