Glad You are here!

I’ve always written.

Poems, long and heartfelt birthday greetings.

Scout activities, love letters, lists full of dreams and aspirations for the future.

Ideas I wanted to bring to life, detailed initiatives with which I could change things.

Impressions, reminders, travel diaries, and memory journals.

Notes to myself, notes to my loved ones, to my children.

Farewell letters to clients at the end of a long and significant therapy process.

Thoughts that flew through the air, and I tied their tails with a transparent kite string so they wouldn’t disappear forever.

Stories. Even the ones I was afraid to have read, the ones I was afraid to think of, but still wrote.

I wrote and illustrated, notebooks upon notebooks, sometimes separate sheets of paper which I also gathered in envelopes, containers, and boxes. Some I couldn’t stand and parted with them (even through shredding or recycling, there was great relief). The majority remain with me to this day.

In 2017, I began daring to write not just for myself or a specific recipient, but for anyone who wanted to read, on a Facebook page called “Materials Outside the Box.” I wrote about the materials that are my foundations, both personal and professional, about the intersections between them, and the connections that occur between worlds, either intentionally or by chance.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that writing outward, daring to raise my voice in this way — changed something in the course of my life.

This blog is another stage in establishing my own space. Here you can find the main content that has appeared on the internet over the years, and of course, all that will be posted in the future. It provides a glimpse into this complex field of art therapy, a meeting with the uniqueness and extraordinary benefits that can be derived from creative therapeutic processes, as well as an in-depth introduction to my approach as a therapist.

I invite you to read, comment (even on things posted a long time ago, I read everything), share, and reach out. I am very curious to know how the things were read and received, whether they changed and impacted the readers and in what way.

I’m here.

Birthday wishes from me to you

Today is my birthday. A birthday that comes after a year in a different, distant country. I narrowed it down, and a year passed; I narrowed it down again, and a decade has already gone
