Wonderer. Mystic. Creative. Healer & Empathic Human. Enjoyer of artsy things and being. Founder of In Reverie , a Creativity Coaching + Healing Arts Initiative.
After years of finding myself deeply in reverie and immersed in all things creative and the arts, I began to wonder what it might mean to create a space for others to do the same.
My relationship with creativity began long before I understood it as something that could support healing, reflection, or change. I understand creativity not simply as making art, but as one of the ways we make meaning of being human.
My professional exploration of this connection deepened at Lesley University, where I studied expressive therapies and the Expressive Therapies Continuum. A time when words began to run out for me. I could feel so much more than I knew how to say, but art seemed to make room for what language couldn't hold. So I started wondering. Could we move it? Paint it? Hum it? Turn it into a story? I became curious about all the ways imagination lets us play with what we're carrying until, little by little, something begins to take shape.
My curiosity eventually led me into graduate study in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, where my understanding of human development, relationships, identity, and the stories we carry has continued to grow. While my clinical training informs the way I understand people,
In Reverie is not psychotherapy.
It is a space where I bring together my background in the arts, expressive practices, and coaching to support exploration, creativity, healing, and meaningful change.
It lives in the ways we imagine, question, play, make meaning, tell our stories and envision lives that don't exist yet. For me, creativity has also been a way back to myself. A place for healing, expression and discovering what can be possible when we have room to wonder.
I created In Reverie from a desire to make that kind of room.
My own experiences with the healing arts taught me that meaningful therapeutic work can happen in many places and take many forms. Through art, movement, storytelling, imagination and embodied practices, I've experienced ways of knowing and healing that don't always fit neatly inside traditional systems of care.
As I've moved through clinical training, I've also found myself wondering what can get lost when care becomes shaped by systems that are too focused on productivity, pathology and what can be measured.
It is my small attempt to return to some of the art, spirit and humanity of healing work. To create a space where creativity can be a doorway into deeper self-exploration, where we can listen to our own wisdom and where becoming doesn't have to happen according to someone else's timeline.
I'm still doing my own becoming too. I don't see myself standing outside of this work with all the answers. I see myself as a fellow wanderer, a creative healer and a co-wonderer who has experienced what art can make possible and wants to make more room for others to discover that for themselves.
