ABOUT
When words are not enough the creative process of Art Therapy becomes a language. Externalising thoughts and feelings, using various art mediums and materials, and in exploring the artwork together as client and therapist, this process allows for a person to see things from a different perspective, to gain insight to their lives and a greater understanding of self.

I am a qualified Art Therapist with an Advanced Diploma in Transpersonal Art Therapy through the Ikon Institute of Australia.
I am a keen artist and yoga enthusiast which I feel complements my art therapy skills. I am passionate about the therapeutic power of art therapy in its gentle approach to make sense of the human condition and allow for healing.
