As a qualified Art Therapist and Counsellor, I am dedicated to supporting individuals in navigating their mental health journeys through creative and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. With a strong background in adolescent mental health, I specialize in working with young people facing diverse challenges, including disabilities, autism, ADHD, trauma, and complex emotional needs.

I have two years of hands-on experience providing counselling and art therapy interventions that foster emotional expression, self-awareness, and resilience. My work in schools, community organizations, and youth health services has allowed me to develop a trauma-informed, strengths-based practice that is tailored to the unique needs of each individual.

For several years, I have also been actively engaged in researching and supporting the LGBTQI+ community, deepening my understanding of identity development, minority stress, and mental health disparities within this population. I am committed to fostering inclusive, affirming spaces where individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore their identities in a safe and supportive environment.

Beyond direct client work, I have experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, contributing to service design, and implementing quality improvement initiatives in mental health care. My goal is to bridge clinical expertise with creative expression to help individuals build meaningful connections, process their experiences, and develop sustainable coping strategies.

I am a Level 2 ACA-registered therapist, continuously engaging in professional development and ethical practice to ensure the highest standard of care. Passionate about early intervention and youth empowerment, I strive to make mental health support more accessible, creative, and person-centered for all individuals.
