Welcome...
Stories are essential to the human experience. They illuminate the world around us, fostering deeper connections with others by bridging diverse perspectives. To me a story steward understands the power and sacredness of stories, both the stories they share as well as the ones they hear. A story steward treats stories with respect and care, recognizing that they hold valuable experiences, emotions, and truths.
Through rich narratives, stories ignite our imaginations and evoke a spectrum of emotions, shaping our identities and forging a shared human experience across generations and cultures.
They also serve as powerful teachers, illustrating the impacts of actions and providing valuable frameworks for navigating complex situations by allowing us to vicariously experience the challenges we face.

I cherish the stories people share with me. In my life and work, I've been privileged to hear so many unfold.
As an art therapist, I've seen how exploring these narratives can empower clients to express their experiences and emotions in a safe and supportive environment. Art therapy offers a unique and dynamic approach to counseling, engaging the whole brain in a non-judgmental, process-oriented exploration of self.
By engaging with our own stories, we can discover new ways to navigate challenges and grow.

My own art practice has explored many mediums over the years. My fine art is primarily process-driven, a passion instilled in me since childhood by a parent who embraced creativity as a way of life.
Storytelling is woven through my art, as well as my work on community projects and in film. Stories allow us to experience the emotions of others, gaining insights into diverse lives, cultures, and perspectives. They preserve values, traditions, and history across generations.
Listening to others' stories fosters understanding and empathy, while sharing our own creates connection and intimacy. Engaging with stories stimulates our imagination and critical thinking, allowing us to explore different scenarios and perspectives.
