Welcome...
At the heart of human experience lie stories, illuminating our world and connecting us across differences. A story steward is one who honors the power and sanctity of these narratives, both those they tell and those they hear. They handle stories with deep respect and care, acknowledging the inherent value of the experiences, emotions, and truths they contain.
Stories ignite our imaginations, evoke a spectrum of emotions, and shape our identities, weaving a shared human tapestry. Crucially, they serve as powerful teachers, allowing us to vicariously experience life's complexities and learn from the challenges and triumphs of others.

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.
