Life can be unexpectedly messy – a diagnosis, death, grief, anxiety, procrastination, pain, job loss, relationships, aging parents, career challenges, Covid!

Creative expression is an experiential way to deal with life’s hurdles.  It provides meaningful insight into feelings, thoughts, actions, and is a voice for the body. This whole-self approach engages one’s instinctive resources to handle things with greater dignity and ease.  It involves processes combining image, sound, movement, metaphor, narrative, color, nature, and scent.

Group programs and 1-1 sessions are the delivery formats.  In-person group programs are limited to 4 people with air purification and ample space to create a safe and inviting environment.

I also love working 1-1; in-person, phone or zoom.  During the initial meeting the discussion involves problem identification, desired outcomes, and a plan of options.

Spring 2022, a self-paced personal planner and journal, inspired by Julia Cameron’s The Artist Way, will be available for purchase.

I’m the author and facilitator/mentor/coach who loves creating these scientifically based processes that support people in their personal discovery of unexpected outcomes and amazing revelations.

I began this work after witnessing the limitations of talk therapy. In my early 40’s, the untamed tiger in my body reemerged as anxiety, perfection, unfounded despair, and insecurity.  Medicine, exercise, food, alcohol, and continuous education provided no lasting impact.

Finding art therapy and trauma-based creative expression launched me into a new, more meaningful way to live and work. I have never looked back!

The most visible creators are those artists whose medium is life itself.   The ones who express the inexpressible ~ without brush, hammer, clay, or guitar.   They are the artists of being alive  –Donna J. Ston
