Hey! Thanks for stopping by, I'm so glad you're here. Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming, so welcome to Poetic Healing Studios. If you're a neurodivergent teen or adult looking to better understand yourself, regulate your emotions, navigate relationships, or cope with life's challenges, we might be a good fit together. Or, if you're navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or the transition to parenthood, I offer specialized support for the emotional changes that can accompany this season of your life. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, identity shifts, or don't feel like yourself, help is here.
My approach is grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming practices, person-centred care, and is trauma-informed. As a Professional Art Therapist, I often invite clients into creative exploration alongside conversation. Colour, shape, line, and materials can become another language for understanding your inner world.
Whether Art Therapy sounds intriguing to you, or talk therapy is more your jam, I offer both, and no art experience necessary! From me you can expect authenticity, humour, warmth, and professionalism. If you're picking up what I'm putting down, feel free to email me or book a free 20-minute consult to learn more with my website link, I'd love to connect.
