Our Stories Will Save Us
Creating is an innately human act. I believe that by nourishing and nurturing our relationship to creating we can be better humans. When we are better humans, the whole world benefits. I help people make space for creativity and thereby experience their own version of personal growth.
In addition to my work with Bewonderment, I also am a writer and editor. I’ve served two terms as Writer-in-Residence at Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts and am on the Board of Directors for the East Central Regional Arts Council. I am the recipient of a 2020 Creative Support For Individuals Minnesota State Arts Board grant to support my research and writing on the topic of creativity and wellness, as well as a 2021 grantee from the East Central Regional Arts Council.
MA Counseling Candidate | training in narrative exposure therapy, trauma-informed care at Adler Graduate School

The process of writing is as important as the product.

Use tarot to support your growth and healing. In these 1-hour sessions you’ll receive a focused 3-card reading and tailored journal prompts to deepen your reflection and insight. Each session is guided to help you translate symbolic wisdom into practical next steps, track progress over time, and uncover inner patterns that support emotional well-being. Ideal for moments of transition, decision-making, or ongoing personal development. Bring an open mind and a journal; leave with clarity, gentle guidance, and actions you can try between sessions.
