A graduate student in professional counseling & expressive arts therapy, and a professional working within the field of relational and behavioral health, Randall brings both academic insight and personal perspective to the discussion.

Together, they explore how creative expression—including visual art, movement, and other expressive modalities—can support individuals navigating trauma and attachment wounds. The conversation highlights how expressive approaches can create pathways for processing emotion, building resilience, and fostering deeper self-understanding when traditional talk-based interventions may feel limiting.
