have you been feeling misunderstood, or disconnected from yourself and those around you? perhaps you've recently experienced a traumatic event, or even a series of unfortunate circumstances that have left you discouraged and resentful of existence; do you find yourself coping in ways that self sabotage your true desires, hoping for the possibility of change, and to live the life you dream of?

i offer a creative approach to psychotherapeutic counselling - a safe, culturally sensitive and anti oppressive space to be witnessed in your unique personal process through the human experience. the use of art allows for expression of the unspeakable, and provides a mirror to the psyche, it is my service to accompany you in the reflective healing process.

your story matters - your life matters, and you are never as alone as you feel, reach out - there are people who want to help, and understand. please know that i offer a free 15 minute discovery call so you can decide if my approach resonates with you.
