Embodied Awareness, Creative Expression, and Personal Meaning

Exploring imagination, symbol, and awareness through art, reflection, and embodied practices.

IMG_0606_edited_edited.jpg

I offer creative and reflective experiences in the Main Line and Greater Philadelphia area. My work supports people in developing embodied awareness and creative exploration, and engaging with their inner life in ways that foster clarity, integration, and meaning.

Some people come to this work through a sense of disconnection from their bodies and lives. Others are already engaged in reflective or psychological work and are seeking a grounded, creative approach to personal expression. Whether through movement, guided reflection, or mixed-media art, the focus is on slowing down, listening inwardly, and allowing new understanding to emerge.

Creative Workshops & Courses

Mixed-media workshops that use art-making, embodied practice, archetypes, and symbolism to support personal exploration and meaning.

All my offerings invite the same essential practice, and are different doorways into the same house: slowing down enough to listen and explore oneself - in the body, in images, and in lived experience.

FAQ

Is this therapy or counseling?

My work is therapeutic in nature, but it is not psychotherapy. It is experiential and creative, focusing on embodied awareness, reflection, imagery, and symbol as ways of supporting self-understanding. It emphasizes direct experience through movement, nervous system regulation, and creative expression. It is a great complement to psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, but does not replace it.

Do I need prior art experience?

No prior experience is necessary. My workshops and courses are designed to welcome beginners while also offering depth and new approaches for experienced artists. All participants are encouraged to explore, experiment, and follow their own curiosity. Creativity is the act of bringing forth something unique to you that was not there before, and everyone has the capacity to be creative. It is not about education or experience, but the quality and intention of your presence.

What if I'm not sure this work is right for me?

Uncertainty is welcome here. A brief exploratory call offers a chance to ask questions, get a sense of the work and me, and feel into whether it’s a good fit - without pressure to commit.
