Artist-researcher, photographer, art psychotherapist, creative educator.
Attention shapes what we notice, how we make meaning, and who we become. I work with that — in portraiture, in educational and clinical work, and in Apertura, a practice of creative inquiry centered on perception, drawing on phenomenology and art-making. Apertura opens at the end of 2026.

Private sessions to slow down and see what’s happening beneath urgency, noise, or internal pressure. Conversational and guided, working with attention, perception, and lived experience. For moments of transition, uncertainty, or creative re-alignment.
Art Psychotherapy: currently by referral only.

The Woman in the Film
Katya locks herself in her apartment for seven days to finish the script for an art film: a portrait of a self she wants to leave behind. Dark memories surface. She finds herself on fragile ground, struggling to find her way through the unreal and the true.
