About

If you’re here, you’ve already done one of the hardest things — you’ve decided that you wanna do the work! Wicked. Now, you might be thinking that all that talking seems pretty intimidating, and to that I say — I bet you’ve got a juicy story to tell, and I wanna hear it.

​

Think about a movie or a play — what character are you? Figuring out who you are and how you behave is a big part of being in relationships — because those things affect other people. What role do you play, and how do your feelings and actions work to move the story forward? Look around and see the people who are your helpers, your cheerleaders, and your villains.

​

I ask you to consider what it would be like to be uncomfortable in a moment — to do or say the hard thing — and this is why we call therapy work! This is why your therapist isn’t your friend. They have to be able to name the hard thing. They have to be able to show you your growth edges — those moments where you do the hard thing, and you lean into the resistance to it, instead of running away from it. That’s where growth comes from!

​

Yes, these things are hard — but they don’t have to suck. It’s all about relationships — to yourself, to your friends and family, to your partner(s). What brings you joy? Where are your pleasures in life? What makes you feel intimate in your relationships? Those questions add some complex dynamics. Sex. Intimacy. Pleasure. Those are part of your lived experience too! So why can’t you use art to explore them?

​

The mashing together of art therapy and sex therapy gives us another language to explore your role in the story. It helps you find the juicy bits! The fun stuff.

​

So — what story are we gonna start with? Looking forward to it. Heidi
