Stroke by Stroke
they/she/he

This channel is the video version of a book I wanted to write about how art is helping me heal from a stroke I suffered in 2024. I have aphasia, and writing is now very challenging and taxing. I am actually really excited to do these videos - even more than I was by the idea of the book!

Before I got Covid in 2022, I was a provisional art therapist (ATR-P) and therapist (LMHC), but after a series of incredibly life-changing physical and mental health problems, including multiple surgeries and a stroke, not to mention domestic violence (DV) that left me homeless, I had to stop working and retire my licenses.

Part tutorial site, part "art as therapy site," part life coaching site, with a whole lot of advocacy for various issues such as mental health, disability, domestic violence, creative expression, and a healthy dose of play, Stroke by Stroke aims to be a refuge from perfection and the problems that plague everyday life. So join me as we talk about things and play with art!
