You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—from yourself, others, or a sense of meaning. Perhaps you’re living with anxiety, low mood, trauma, identity questions, or the cumulative impact of life stress, disability, or neurodiversity. You may find it hard to put your experiences into words, or you may be seeking a therapeutic space that feels flexible, respectful, and creative. I work primarily with adults from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ and culturally diverse communities, who want support that honours both their inner world and their lived context.
I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Professionally Registered Art Therapist, trained in ACT, trauma-informed practice, and strengths-based care. I offer verbal therapy and art-based psychotherapy, adapting each session to support emotional regulation, insight, and meaningful change.
I provide a calm, respectful space where you can explore challenges at your own pace. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and affirming of difference. If you’re seeking thoughtful, flexible therapy that honours both creativity and evidence-based care, you’re welcome to reach out.
