Whether you are navigating a life transition, questioning old narratives or longing for more authenticity, Art Therapy offers a unique opportunity for self exploration. With 30+ years of experience, I support kids, teens and adults on their journey of self discovery. Deeply connected to my Jewish identity, I am passionate about supporting people who are navigating their own feelings and connection to being Jewish. I also offer support for psychedelic integration, helping you process and make meaning from your experiences. Together, we explore the spiritual threads that shape you, connecting you with what is seeking healing within.
Many clients seek out therapy during times of inner turmoil - when old roles no longer fit, something deeper is stirring, and the soul feels ready for renewal. Using Art therapy as an opening to the intuitive and unseen, you can connect to the sacred threads of your lineage, giving form to your inner world that speaks in metaphor and image.
My practice is inclusive, trauma-informed, and centered on each person's needs. Together, we use imagery and self-reflection to access clarity, strengthen self-understanding and support meaningful change. While encouraging you to allow compassion for the thoughts and feelings initially created to keep you safe, we work to untangle what no longer serves you.
