Specialties
We specialize in working with deep feelers and deep thinkers.
Artists & Creatives
Artists, poets, writers, musicians: We know you are deep feelers and deep thinkers. You are the noticers. The ones who see and hear and wonder about both the big picture and the beautiful details. The ones who ask questions and explore and experiment. And sometimes all the noticing and depth can feel like A LOT to navigate. We have years of both personal and professional experience helping artists and writers engage with intense feelings in ways that are supportive of well-being.
Our creative practices and our lived lives are intertwined and ever-evolving. This can foster a life lived deeply with meaning, and it can also present some challenges. We specialize in helping artist-identified clients sort through these challenges.
Highly Sensitive
First this: You are not too sensitive. It is a gift (and often a challenge) to be wired in a way that is highly sensitive. It is, in fact, a personality trait, not a disorder or even out of the ordinary. In this same spirit, neurodiversity, the differences in the way our brains process information, is an expansive view of our experiences. Neurodiversity means that humans take in and interact with the world around them in diverse ways.
To be sensitive can often feel overwhelming and full of emotion. There is power in it, too. We want to help you navigate your own unique sensitivities on your terms, at your pace, so that you can thrive in your life.
Existential Explorations
Are you feeling a deep desire to do something, or be something, or find something, but you are not sure what it is? Or maybe you know what it is, but you are not sure how to get there. You may be feeling the existential pull to find purpose and make meaning in your life.
These powerful questions and longings can come up at major pivotal points in your life. Often these pivotal life moments can be accompanied by stress, anxiety, fears, and worries. How do you want to find purpose and make meaning? We have been there, too, and we will show up with unwavering compassion and empathy for you as you discover your own path and purpose.
Manuscripts & Other Creative Projects
Do you want to know yourself on deeper levels through the lens of your own creative work? Do you have a manuscript that you want to examine as a way to make sense of your experiences and feelings? Do you have an in-progress body of work that could be used as a navigational tool for emotional healing? As artists, writers, and teachers, as well as counselors, we offer a unique opportunity to hold space for you in healing with your art form.
