The Limbic Lounge

A safe & unique counseling space for creative people of all ages to gain tools & peace of mind to navigate stressful life stage challenges. We use art making and narrative talk therapy to overcome these difficult emotional times and get you back to the joys of daily life. Specializing in: Parenting • Adulting • Aging & Memory loss • Death & Grief Are you… • Tired, frustrated, or anxious as a parent trying to connect with your child? • Confronting issues unique to being a Creative Professional? • Confused or scared of aging, retirement, Alzheimer’s memory loss or other dementia? • Overwhelmed by a range of grief feelings when someone you love has died? Life stage changes can be difficult and anxiety filled, yet they don’t have to be. My greatest joy is helping those in search of peace, love and brain understanding when they need it most. Your Limbic System is the part of your brain & nervous system that is responsible for how you handle the tough emotional situations that life throws at you. Understanding it can mean the difference between a loud emotional reactive outburst, and a calm grounded appropriate response. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a Board Certified Art Psychotherapist, I have specialized knowledge and passion for the areas of Creativity & Neuroscience. I help you (or your loved one) learn to understand how this part of the brain works, so that you can cope and problem solve better when under extreme emotional stress. Together we help bring calm and joy back into your daily life. My clients are used to their lives being filled with art, music, photography, dance, writing, architecture or other creative passions. They are not always artists, yet they find comfort in expression through painting, drawing, sculpting, creative writing or song, as a way of processing emotions when words alone just don’t fit. The art making is itself a coping and problem-solving skill, as well as a great catalyst for cognitive understanding & communication. I know picking up the phone can be hard, but living your life this way is much harder. Call today for a free 20-minute phone consultation to get you past this challenge and back on track to a creative, happy and productive life.
