As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I’ve spent my career walking alongside families and individuals through all sorts of struggles. And one thing I’ve learned? Sometimes, the way through requires more than words.

Over the years, I’ve often found myself wishing for a way to provide my clients, friends and community with a way to let loose, express themselves, and physically release stress and tension in a safe space. I believe in the beneficial nature of engaging our bodies to break out of normal routines; it engages our brains in a new way, helps us to let go, and it’s FUN.

Break Through Studio is my way of bringing a part of therapy off the couch and into real life — where breakthroughs can be loud, messy, colorful, and absolutely beautiful. Because sometimes, making a mess can help us find our way through the darkness and into greater connection, self reflection and understanding.

In addition, my faith in Christ has guided this venture every step of the way. Throughout Scripture, we see over and over how the Lord longs to bring His people into the light; how His love for us overcame the darkness of sin, and has the power to break through even the darkest, hardest pieces of our own lives. It’s my prayer that Breakthrough Studio is a reminder to all of us that the Creator of the Universe can make even the messiest corners of our past into something beautiful and full of purpose.

So, whether you’re bringing your family for a night of painting fun or coming for a unique date night or just dropping by to break some things after a stressful week at work, I’m so honored that you’d choose to let go here. Let’s make some meaningful messes together!
