Healing Medical Advocacy

Using the creative process to face medical changes and challenges, negative systemic influences, and the consequences of gaslighting can be profoundly empowering. Through art-making, narrative exploration, and embodied creative expression, we can slow down what feels overwhelming and make meaning from experiences that often leave individuals feeling unheard, minimized, or pathologized.

Medical trauma isn’t only physical—it lives in the nervous system, in memory, in the voice that begins to question itself, and in the very places where your story was dismissed. Together, we gently differentiate what belongs to you from what was imposed upon you by circumstance, misdiagnosis, fragmented care, or systemic bias.

Our sessions become a space to reclaim agency—finding voice where silence was expected, accessing choice where exhaustion or fear narrowed options, and cultivating clarity in spaces that may have felt confusing, invalidating, or disorienting. The creative process reminds us that you are not a problem to solve, but a human being with a lived experience that deserves respect, truth, and compassionate witnessing.

No matter what you have faced or are currently navigating, you do not have to do it alone. I believe you. And together, we move toward grounded advocacy, integrative healing, and a renewed sense of power in your own medical story.
