Art has always been my way of listening inward. Long before it became a professional modality, it was how I made sense of emotion, memory, and what lived beneath words. As an art therapist, I invite others to explore their inner landscapes, thresholds, wounds, resilience, and possibility, through image, movement, and symbol. As an artist, I offer myself that same permission.

My creative process mirrors art therapy at its core: intuitive, embodied, and relational. I work with texture, form, and layers not only as materials, but as expressions of lived experience. Each piece becomes a visual dialogue between the conscious and unconscious, the known and the felt. Images emerge the way insight does in therapy, slowly, symbolically, and often through the body before language arrives.

My work lives at the intersection of emotion, memory, and embodiment. Fragments, portals, and layered forms reflect the therapeutic process itself: moments of rupture, integration, and becoming. Rather than illustrating meaning, the work allows meaning to surface, honoring ambiguity, complexity, and the nervous system's pace.

These pieces are not conclusions or diagnoses. They are invitations, to witness, to feel, and to stay present with what cannot always be spoken. Like art therapy, the focus is not on aesthetics or outcome, but on process: trusting that what needs expression will find its way forward. This space holds that practice. It is a window into art as a therapeutic act, where inner worlds take shape, metaphors are allowed to breathe, and healing unfolds one layer at a time.
