Welcome! Whether you're facing a specific event, tough relationship, or a sense of being stuck, your reasons for seeking help are valid. You might be navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, or a recent neurodivergence diagnosis, looking for a space where you're truly heard. I see therapy as a collaborative journey rooted in trust—where you're met as a whole, unique person—and where understanding, self-compassion, and healing can grow. As an integrative art psychotherapist, my approach is informed by multiple therapeutic theories and shaped by clinical and lived experience.
I offer creative and talking therapy to explore your experiences. Art can help express feelings and support mindfulness, taking a 'bottom-up' approach, combined with talking therapy can offer a new way to approach life's challenges. No art skills are needed—it's about expression, not perfection.
When life feels overwhelming it can be hard to reach out. Even with loved ones around, you may feel unable to share what you’re going through. In therapy, you don’t have to carry it alone. I offer a calm, accepting space where you can feel heard, supported, and gently explore your experiences at your own pace.
