Welcome to a Space for Gentle Healing and Creative Expression

Discover Your Inner Calm
Welcome to a unique offering of holistic counseling tailored to adults 18 and over who are seeking a softer, more creative approach to healing. Whether you’re navigating stress, processing emotions, or simply craving a space to reconnect with yourself, my practice provides a warm and nurturing environment to support your journey.

​
​What to Expect
​In our sessions, you’ll step into a calm, inviting space where healing feels natural and intuitive. Each session is uniquely tailored to your needs and includes:

• A Gentle Beginning: Start with a mindful meditation to center yourself and set a calm tone for the session. If you wish, you can enjoy a warm beverage as we ease into the work.
• Creative Exploration: Choose from a variety of creative materials, such as watercolors, markers, or collage supplies. Your art becomes a medium to express what’s on your heart and mind.
• Light Somatic Practices: Engage in gentle bodywork, like breathing exercises or seated neck and shoulder stretches, to help release tension and connect with your body’s wisdom.
• Open, Supportive Conversation: Together, we’ll process your creations and explore what they reveal about your inner experience. You’ll be met with unconditional positive regard and acceptance.
• A Grounding Close: End with a simple closing ritual to anchor your insights and leave feeling centered and supported.

Who This Is For
This approach is ideal for adults who:

• Feel drawn to a holistic, non-clinical style of counseling.
• Want to explore emotions through creative and mindful practices.
• Are seeking a safe, accepting space to express themselves and process their experiences.
• Value a slower, more intuitive approach to healing.

Why It Works
The practices we incorporate—mindfulness, light bodywork, and creative expression—are grounded in research and known to support mental health by:

• Reducing Stress: Mindful meditation and breathing exercises activate the body’s relaxation response, lowering cortisol levels and promoting calm.
• Enhancing Emotional Awareness: Creative expression helps process and articulate emotions that may be difficult to put into words.
• Fostering Connection: Gentle somatic practices and open conversation promote self-compassion and emotional release.
• Improving Focus and Mood: Engaging in creative activities has been shown to boost dopamine levels and enhance overall well-being.
