Therapeutic Design Consulting

Are you a private practice clinician, health clinic or school, wanting to design your environment to serve your patients or students? I’m your person.

A cozy waiting room with a pink sofa, two white chairs, a wooden shelf with plants and a welcome sign, a patterned area rug, a side table with a plant and magazines, and a large window with blinds.

I offer healing experiences that align inner and outer landscapes—empowering individuals to feel safe, seen, and sovereign in both mind and space.

This practice is deeply influenced by milieu therapy, which emphasizes the therapeutic impact of environment on emotional well-being. We believe that healing spaces—physical and relational—play an essential role in mental health. Whether at home, school, or office, each space has the potential to:

~Regulate the nervous system
~Support safety, autonomy, and clarity
~Reflect and reinforce healing goals
~Promote dignity, calm, and connection

This philosophy is woven into every offering, from counseling to organizing and design consultation.

Therapeutic Design is ideal for therapy offices, classrooms, waiting rooms, home offices, or private retreat spaces.

I will help you create a space that helps your clients to feel comfortable, safe and taken care of.

In today’s fast-paced world, students are navigating more stress and anxiety than ever before. For teachers and staff, this can translate into a challenging learning environment with distracted minds and emotional dysregulation. But what if the very space students learn in could be a powerful tool for their well-being?

Educational Spaces

Let’s design a space that inspires your students!

At Artemis & Hearth, I believe the design of a classroom is just as important as the curriculum.

Therapeutic design services transform traditional classrooms into calming, purposeful environments that support emotional health and enhance academic performance.

By mindfully curating every element—from color and light to acoustics and furniture—I create spaces where students feel safe, focused, and ready to thrive.
