Art
Paint, pastel, collage. The focus is on feeling, not skill, so no experience is needed.

Three ways in,one conversation.
The focus is high sensitivity, low skill. You don't need to be artistic. What you make gives us something to look at together, and it often says more than words would.
Sandtray
Small objects placed in a tray of sand to show what is hard to say out loud.
Writing and talk
We look at what you made and connect it to your past and to what is happening now.
The gift of an image is that it provides a place to watch your soul.
What brings people in
Sometimes thingsare murky.
This isn't problem-solving or homework. We build a trusting relationship, and through it you come to understand how past decisions and relationships shape the patterns you live with now. I don't diagnose; it isn't my training.
