I work with children and adults of all ages, to develop self-regulation techniques, process trauma, connect with the deeper, hidden parts of self, explore lifes challenges from different perspectives, and to create gentle shifts in ways of thinking, feeling and being. We start individual or group arts therapy sessions, with a short guided meditation or self-regulation practices to settle into the space and bring your self into that present moment, as a way of creating space for our somatic, arts therapy session.
During sessions, we explore what is present for you through the use of various materials provided, which includes instruments, visual arts, dance and role play props, collaging, writing materials, clay, crafts, recyclable materials and more. We engage with these materials as part of the therapeutic relationship and arts therapy process.
From each unfolding moment, we notice what emerges in your emotional and physical sensations, memory, thoughts, engagement with materials, and reflection of creations. This encourages self-expression, insight, and the therapeutic benefits of arts therapy. I welcome you to reach out to start this new journey today, with my support and guidance.

Somatic and Arts Therapy is central to my practice, with talk therapy as secondary. We'll explore what brought you to therapy, practice listening to your body, before working on processing stress and trauma stored in your body, and uncovering its impact on your current situation. Overtime, you will create shifts in these areas organically, gently and with my guidance and arts materials.
