Are you a parent feeling overwhelmed as you navigate the complexities of an Autism and/or ADHD diagnosis with your child? Do you feel alone in your journey of parenting a neurodivergent child, or as a neurodivergent parent? Many families experience the emotional highs and lows of these diagnoses often feeling isolated. Through Art Psychotherapy, I support parents and/or their children communicate and connect through a neurodiversity affirming lens informed by lived experience and education. By embracing creativity, we create a space where you and your child can thrive. Let's journey together towards understanding and acceptance.
I offer support for children and families in which one or more members are neurodivergent. Together, we’ll explore creative methods for emotional well-being. My approach is strengths-based, nurturing and collaborative, ensuring you and your child feel seen, understood and empowered to meet challenges with compassion and creativity.
Ready to take the first step? I invite you to schedule a free 20-minute consultation. Let’s discuss how we might work together to create a supportive environment for your child’s growth, personal and family wellbeing. I look forward to connecting with you and beginning this journey.

As a therapist I have training and experience in ADHD and Autism support. As a late-diagnosed mum of neurodivergent children (now adults) I know what it's like navigating life in a neuro-complex home and have experienced the benefit of receiving my own support from someone else who understands.

I work with neurodivergent clients who are looking for alternatives to traditional talk therapy. Art Psychotherapy is a whole brain and body based (somatic) approach that utilizes the benefits of creativity to support clients when words are not enough. Sessions begin by grounding with a simple art invitation, followed by an intentional art exploration to support your goals for therapy.

I utilize an eclectic approach, drawing from a variety of therapeutic approaches, utilizing art as a unifying factor. In Art Psychotherapy, you can expect to create, reflect on (either through writing, dialogue) and use curiosity and self-compassion during sessions. There is no "formula" however, sessions generally follow a flow of check-in (with or without art), art making and reflection.
