LIT (Life in Transformation) 1-1 Life Coaching
You Already Carry Everything You Need to Heal
A creative and transformational coaching program using art journaling and reflective writing as pathways to deep inner healing.
There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes not from doing too much, but from carrying too much — the weight of unspoken grief, unresolved wounds, and a version of yourself you've never quite been allowed to become. Perhaps you've spent years trying to think your way through it: analyzing, rationalizing, problem-solving. And yet something remains.
That something lives below the level of language. It lives in the body, in memory, in image — and it responds to a different kind of reaching.
Art journaling and expressive writing are not hobbies. They are ancient, evidence-informed practices for self-inquiry and emotional integration. When we create — when we put color, line, image, and word to what lives inside us — we access parts of ourselves that ordinary conversation cannot reach. We make the invisible visible. We give form to what has only ever been felt.
This is not about making beautiful art. It is about making honest art — and allowing that honesty to become the foundation of a life that is genuinely, lastingly yours.
The Therapeutic Heart of This Work
Every session is built around two primary creative practices:
Practice one
Art Journaling
Collage, painting, drawing, mixed media — used not for aesthetics but for excavation. Art journaling bypasses the critical mind and allows suppressed emotion, memory, and self-knowledge to emerge through image and intuition. No artistic experience is required. Only willingness.
Practice two
Reflective Journal Writing
Guided prompts, free writing, narrative therapy, and expressive writing exercises designed to deepen self-awareness, process difficult experiences, and begin reauthoring the story you tell about your own life. The page is a safe, private space to say what has never been said.
What We Work On Together
Every client is different, and every session is shaped around what you specifically need. We work on one area of focus at a time — because real change in any one area takes sustained, concentrated effort, and that effort is diluted when we try to do too much at once. If you find that more than one area resonates with you, ongoing coaching is the path I'd recommend. It gives you the time and the continuity to work through as many areas as you need — all of them, if that's what calls you.
Shadow work & self-integration
Meeting and integrating the hidden, rejected, or wounded parts of yourself with compassion rather than avoidance.
Trauma & emotional residue
Processing what you have long carried, gently and at your own pace, through creative rather than purely verbal means.
Inner child work
Returning to the younger self through image, narrative, and play — reparenting through creative witnessing.
Grief, loss & life transitions
Honoring loss and moving through change with intention, ritual, and creative expression as containers for what words alone cannot hold.
Self-worth & identity
Reclaiming your voice, your story, and your sense of self from the narratives that have diminished you.
Limiting beliefs & habitual patterns
Identifying and dismantling the unconscious beliefs that quietly govern your choices and keep you cycling through the same experiences.
Guilt, shame & forgiveness
Releasing the self-judgments and internalized shame that contract your ability to live openly and fully.
Anxiety & emotional overwhelm
Developing creative and contemplative self-regulation practices that work with the nervous system, not against it.
Creative blocks & expression
Reconnecting with your creative self after long absence — understanding what interrupted it and what it means to return.
Purpose & values alignment
Clarifying what genuinely matters to you — not what should matter — and beginning to build a life organized around that truth.
Relationship patterns
Examining the relational dynamics you return to, understanding their roots, and learning to engage differently.
Building a contemplative practice
Establishing a sustainable daily rhythm of creative and reflective practice as a foundation for ongoing self-care and growth.
My Approach
My coaching integrates formal training in mental health counseling with a deeply person-centered, solution-focused philosophy. I hold an Associate of Arts in Human Services, a Bachelor of Arts in Human Services with an Emphasis in Mental Health Counseling, and a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling, along with post-graduate certifications in both Professional Counseling and Addiction Counseling. My work also draws on extensive study in positive psychology, expressive arts, and narrative therapy.
I am not here to tell you who to be or how to live. I am here to help you find your own answers — and to witness you, with care and without judgment, as you find them. The creative process is the vehicle. Your life is the destination.
Before You Begin — Four Honest Questions
Are you willing to do the work?
Sessions involve real homework — creative prompts, journaling exercises, and self-reflection between our meetings. Transformation is not passive. It requires your honest participation.
Do you understand that you are the expert on your own life?
I am a guide, not an authority. I will not tell you what to do. I will ask the questions that help you hear what you already know — and I will help you trust it.
Are you prepared for change to take time?
The patterns we carry have often been with us for decades. Genuine transformation unfolds over months, not sessions. Progress will be real — but it will not always be linear.
Are you ready to be honest — especially with yourself?
Shadow work and expressive arts ask you to look directly at what you have been turning away from. This can be uncomfortable. It can also be the most liberating thing you have ever done.
What this work tends to unlock
What others have found through this work
People come to this program carrying very different things — grief, creative stagnation, years of self-doubt, patterns they cannot seem to break no matter how well they understand them. What I have found, again and again, is that the creative process reaches what conversation alone cannot.
Through art journaling and reflective writing, people begin to access parts of themselves that ordinary conversation cannot reach — and what they find there tends to change things in ways that last.
They begin to see themselves more clearly
Not the self they perform for the world, but the one underneath — the one that has been trying to get their attention for a long time. The page has a way of making that visible.
They release what they have been carrying quietly
Grief that was never properly witnessed. Anger that was never allowed. Old stories about who they are and what they deserve that were handed to them by someone else entirely. The creative process gives these things somewhere to go.
They reconnect with their own voice
Many people arrive having spent so long meeting everyone else's needs that they have genuinely lost track of what they think, feel, want, and value. Writing and image-making bring that back — slowly, and then all at once.
They begin to live with more intention
Not a perfect life. Not a fixed life. But a life that feels more honestly theirs — organized around what actually matters to them rather than what they were told should.
This is not a quick process and I will never tell you it is. But it is a real one. And for the people willing to do the work, it tends to change things in ways that last.
