EMERGING
Unveiling the Magic in Everyday Life
Welcome to
EMERGING
Expressive Arts Therapy
This is a space for you to come home to yourself.
We use conversation, storytelling, imagination, movement, art, writing, experimentation, the body, ritual, and whatever else the moment calls for, so you can feel deeply connected to yourself and to life again.
Instead of only thinking about what's happening, we work with it.
You've been
trying so hard.
Trying to figure it out.
Trying to make the right decision.
Trying to heal the pattern.
Trying to finally finish the thing.
What if you don't need to try harder?
When thinking and analyzing aren't creating
movement, creativity opens another way in.
75 minute - 1:1 Sessions - Online
Maybe you are someone who...
-
Has tried therapy
-
You've read the books, and done the journaling
-
Listened to the podcasts
-
Analyzed the relationships, creative block, or career decision
You can probably explain why you do half the things you do.
And still...
You're circling. Something wants to change, but you can't quite get yourself to move. You have an idea you can't bring into form. You keep waiting for clarity. You know something doesn't feel right, but don't know how to change. Or maybe things feel....fine... but you just miss feeling deeply connected to yourself and your life.
You know there is more aliveness available for you!
You can't think your way into
a life that is asking to be lived
At some point, more analysis doesn't create more clarity.
You need Experience.
You need movement, experimentation, contact with your body, contact with desire, contact with the parts of you that don't communicate in a neat sentence.
What can happen if we keep following what feels most alive?
Imagine...
Imagine trusting yourself enough to...
-
Move before you have the whole map.
-
Make the thing
-
Change direction
-
Follow the strange idea
-
Rest when your body says no
-
Say yes when something lights you up
-
Let something end without immediately knowing what will replace it.
-
Create without needing ot know whether it will be good
-
Become curious about your life again
Imagine developing a relationship with the unknown, trusting the unfolding, one step at a time, and maybe even learning to enjoy not knowing what's next.
What Brought you Here?
Art has an amazing ability to hold it ALL. Whatever you are coming with, there is space for you here.
Creative Block
There is something I'm trying to birth, but can't quite find the way
Perfectionism
I'm too scared to start or finish things
Control Freak
I'm trying so hard, and I want to let go
I've tried traditional therapy..
My experience with talk therapy was meeehhh...
Nothing really changed.
I can't stop overthinking
I keep circling the same questions and still don't feel clarity.
I feel disconnected
I miss feeling like myself. I want pleasure, creativity, and aliveness back.
I'm in a transition
Something is ending or wants change, and I don't know what's next

Nothing is wrong, but there is more inside Me!
More creativity, more intimacy, more depth with my own life.
How will this make my life better?
This isn't just an art class. And this isn't just therapy.
Through being in a therapeutic container while making art, amazing things can happen.

Expressive Arts Therapy teaches you how to engage with life differently. These are not merely session, our meetings are a portal into the sacred, where change becomes possible in real time, through meeting our senses, and responding creatively.
-
What if painting wasn't just painting, but helped you understand how to let go of attachment, so that you could finally send the proposal you've been agonizing over.
-
What if movement, wasn't just movement, but released stored emotion you didn't even know was inside you, so you could finally have that difficult conversation you've been avoiding for years.
-
What if showing up in the 'studio', gives you the practice to finish your dream project you've almost abandoned
-
What if improv, wasn't just improv, but helped you know how to follow your instincts, so that you could sign up for the class that feels like your passion!
-
What if ritual, wasn't just ritual, but actually helped you embody a new part of yourself, so that you can ..........
Hi, I'm Karen
As a lifelong traveler, I bring adventure into our sessions. I love asking the question of 'Where will we end up when we allow life to take us for the ride".
You might be wondering...
What if i'm not creative?
I don't have time to make art
It seems fun... but is it useful?
Let yourself be supported along the journey.
you don't have to know exactly what's wrong. You don't need to be certain this will work. We can start with one conversation about where you are, what isn't moving, and what you want more of.
