• Welcome to the Grounded Arts Academy.

    Life asks a lot of us. At times it can feel like you are holding it together on the outside while quietly searching for solid ground inside. My work is about helping you find that ground — the inner resources that allow you not just to survive, but to feel steady, clear, and ready to thrive.

    In our sessions, we will explore your unique story, your strengths, and the parts of yourself that need understanding and care. Alongside proven counselling techniques, I use insights from your astrological birth chart to reveal the patterns and archetypes that shape how you move through life. It’s a blend of the practical and the intuitive, giving us a fuller picture of who you are and where you are headed.

The approach

Seeing a counselor is a deeply unique experience. The relationship we build is a one-of-a-kind blend of personality, opportunity, and approach. You may hear that therapists train in different methods, and I’d love to share a bit more about mine to give you a sense of what our work together might feel like.

I believe therapy isn’t about fixing what’s “broken,” but about rediscovering what’s always been within you – your capacity to connect, to grow, and to live in alignment with what matters most. My training in relational family and systemic family approaches shapes how I see you: not as an isolated individual, but as someone woven into a web of relationships, past and present. We’re never truly alone; we live in the eyes of others – family, friends, culture – and those connections shape how we see ourselves. Yet, life also asks us to navigate our inner storms solo, tuning into the internal messages we carry about who we are and what we’re capable of. In our sessions, we’ll explore both: the dance of relating to others and the quiet strength of understanding and guiding yourself.

Often, the stories we hold about ourselves are echoes from the past – shaped by family dynamics, cultural expectations, or painful experiences. Together, we’ll gently hold these stories up to the light, questioning which ones still serve you and which are ready to be rewritten. Using proven counseling techniques and insights from your astrological birth chart, we’ll uncover the patterns and archetypes that guide how you move through life. This blend of the practical and the intuitive helps us see the fuller picture of who you are and where you’re headed.

My intention is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you explore your relationships and your inner world. Sometimes, that means slowing down to notice what’s happening in the moment – a thought, a feeling, a shift in your body. Other times, it means tracing patterns across time, recognizing how threads from your past weave into your present. Always, it means moving at your pace, in a way that feels safe, respectful, and empowering.

This process is an invitation: to pause, to reflect, and to step more fully into the life you want to live. It’s about finding the ground beneath your feet, nurturing your inner resources, and discovering the strengths that have been with you all along. Start today, and give yourself the gift of clarity, strength, and a path to thrive.
