In the world of Expressive Arts, your feelings, challenges, and stories find creative form and transform into new possibilities

No art skills needed

I am an Expressive Arts Facilitator, researching embodied perception and the process of becoming in the MA program at The European Graduate School. My sessions invite you to reconnect with your senses, imagination, and childlike wonder, and to find new ways to meet challenges through the arts

Individual sessions

Express, Explore, Become

I support my clients through life transitions and in-between phases, helping them navigate emotional burnout, career or relationship shifts, or redefining who they are through creative and body-based practices. Reach for textures, movements, shapes, and sounds to meet yourself and move beyond what is holding you back.
