A little more about me
Some fun facts Reading, sewing and finding any excuse to be outside. Get to know me A little less
I love reading, sewing and spending time outside in just about any capacity. That might mean gardening, hiking, camping or simply lying on some squishy moss.
What working with me is like Conversation, creativity and curiosity about what matters to you. Explore my approach A little less
You might be navigating trauma, burnout, stress or the challenges of moving through a neurotypical society as a neurodivergent person. Perhaps you feel stuck, isolated or disconnected from yourself, or you are exploring your gender or sexuality. I welcome your humanness and respect your autonomy.
I see myself as a support and witness to your process. You are the expert on yourself and your life. Together, we can get curious about what matters to you through conversation and creative exploration.
Creativity can offer another way to understand and express parts of yourself that may be difficult to put into words.
What matters to me You do not need to consider yourself creative to begin. Read my story A little less
Whether or not you describe yourself as creative, you are welcome here. Our work is about the process of exploring and expressing yourself, rather than making something that looks a particular way.
I will meet you where you are without judgment. I want our work to leave room for your curiosity, your choices and the ways of expressing yourself that feel meaningful to you.
