I work with children and young people who are struggling with emotional regulation, anxiety, social interaction, or have difficulties maintaining focus. I also work with adults who are experiencing low mood, anxiety, stress and burnout, or going through situational crisis. Art therapy enables individuals to unpack and express their feelings through creativity and interaction with art materials. Benefits of art therapy include improving mood, reducing stress, enabling self-expression, facilitating identity exploration, increasing self-esteem and developing self-awareness and insights.

I continue to develop my practice and skills in providing Neurodivergent affirming support, and I work from the empowering model of Disability.
Working with people individually to help improve their lives is important, and I do so while also acknowledging systemic and societal influences. I work from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and intersectional feminist framework. I am LGBTIAQ+ affirmative and informed, sex work positive, and inclusive of diverse relationship structures.

Adult ADHD/ Autism assessments.
There's an assumption that we should already be great at life, despite not generally being taught the skills to be as effective, confident, emotionally stable or as clear-headed as we want to be. I believe that the right therapist can help your unique brain and nervous system learn those skills in a way that is more easeful and works best for you.
