Welcome to Spruce.

Spruce strengthens individuals, communities, and spaces through creative listening and curated attention.

I love meeting new people,  facilitating community, and expanding a vision. 

As the founder of Spruce, my strength is listening for the fuller, more robust option and then providing creative support and encouragement. I believe we generally have everything we need and prefer to amplify what is already working. As a therapist, I like to reframe challenges the ways that parts of ourselves are trying to meet our needs. Working with communities, I take a similar approach and begin by seeking to understand and honor the wisdom of the current structures and dynamics before suggesting change. When attending to space—the containers of our lives and relationships—I prefer to remove and rearrange rather than redecorate. To Spruce is to clear and strengthen for vibrant alignment and flow.

Anastasia has played a pivotal role within our non-profit organization, contributing significantly to developing and organizing our physical spaces dedicated to programs and learning. Her invaluable assistance has been instrumental in advancing our mission and effectively serving the needs of our community.
