About Me

For a long time I said "not me, but I wish it was."

I didn't feel alive. I felt like a ghost moving through a life that didn't quite fit. I wanted a creative life but I could only make art on the condition that someone else validated it first. My perfectionism was strangling something before it even had a chance to breathe.

Then I stumbled into transpersonal art therapy. Not as a therapist. As a person who needed it.

And something stirred.

That experience changed the direction of everything. I completed my transpersonal art therapy training, then a visual arts diploma, and somewhere in the middle of all of it I stopped being someone who wished for a creative life and started actually living one.

I built a practice. I made work. I ran workshops. And I realised that what had felt impossible for so long wasn't a character flaw or a lack of talent. It was just a door I hadn't found yet.

Now I help other people find theirs.

My Approach

Whatever has brought you here, your seeking is significant. You are signalling to yourself that the old ways of working are no longer serving you. That it's time for an update.

I work to disarm the ego through the creative process so that it releases its need to control, reduce, or decide what things mean before they've even had a chance to breathe. We look for the purest essence of you, hiding in plain sight. Lost in the lint of life. But never gone.

Complexity doesn't equal difficult. Bringing awareness, compassion and understanding to your complexities will allow you to be more comfortably and authentically expressed in the world. Knowing what you need. Knowing what you want.

We work together in our shared humanity, welcoming the multitudes within you waiting to be discovered, befriended and expressed.

I’m a qualified Transpersonal Art Therapist and Counsellor.

I hold a full Practitioner membership and insurance with International Institute for Complementary Therapists and a member of ACA Level 2. I work with both private clients and NDIS participants under the couselling line item that have counselling in their plan.
