Fine Art: Exploring Suffering, Healing, and Transformation

My experiences with trauma and autoimmune illness have profoundly shaped how I see suffering and healing. As an artist, I use figurative work to explore the complexities of the human condition. While arthritis presents challenges, my creative passion continues to fuel both my personal journey and the work I do in therapy.

Art as a Path to Healing

In both art and therapy, I view creative expression as a pathway toward healing and inner peace. Whether through drawing, poetry, film, literature, or music, creative work helps us explore the inner world and uncover new perspectives.

Art is not just an escape—it is a mirror. It reflects the stories we tell ourselves and the emotions we often suppress. Through creative exploration, we can transform harmful beliefs, gain clarity, and cultivate deeper self-compassion.

Creativity in Therapy

In my practice, I invite clients to engage imagination and creativity as tools for healing. Together, we may:

Explore hidden emotions and inner conflicts.

Reframe difficult experiences with new meaning.

Develop mindfulness and self-awareness.

Strengthen emotional resilience.

Engaging with Archetypes and Narratives

Drawing from a Jungian perspective, I often integrate poetry, myth, and fairy tales into our work. These narratives open gateways to archetypal themes and symbols, inviting you to explore deeper layers of the psyche with curiosity and creativity.

A Space of Curiosity and Transformation

This page is both a gallery and an invitation: a space where wonder and imagination foster healing, growth, and renewal. Rooted in creativity, authenticity, wisdom, and freedom, my art and therapy share the same purpose—to guide you on a journey of transformation, toward greater self-compassion and a more meaningful life.

Art can be a powerful tool for processing grief. Discover how Grief Counseling can help you heal. Read more about art as a path to healing on my Blog. See how Jungian Therapy and Depth Psychology can unlock symbols, images and inner work.

Selected Artwork

Carl Jung's shadow archetype refers to the hidden, repressed facets of our personality. They include primal urges and positive traits, like instincts and creativity. The conscious mind often hides these from society. Artists often explore this realm, probing our hidden psyche and its link to society. Much of the work below reflects my journey into the shadow.
