I facilitate a non-judgmental, creative, expressive space that is warmly waiting for you.
There is a lot going on inside and outside of you, with your health, body, mind, soul and spirit. I am proud of you already for searching this website and taking a huge step for looking and finding the right space for yourself to receive some much needed healing time and attention. It is more than ok to reach out and want to have someone alongside you who will take the time to listen, witness and honour your process, to help you acknowledge and own your story.
If you click on my About Me page you will see more of my credentials and background/current experience. I am a Registered Art Therapist and integrate many nature based practices into sessions. N/nature through the Creator and Mother Earth has its own authentic wisdom, role modelling to us how to discover our own authentic wisdom. Clients often find working outdoors brings a more holistic, dynamic, present and relevant experience to their insights.
Fatigue, anxiety, grief, sorrow, depression…whatever the circumstances for stress and emotional overload, or withdrawal and lack of lustre, come and get some much needed self care time. It is becoming common knowledge that you can only look after others at the level of care, attention and time you are looking after yourself and know yourself. Where do your behaviours stem from, where is your stress in your body ‘sitting?’ It would be an honour to be with, within and in-between your process as you explore and discover how to meet your needs.

I have worked with all sorts of clients such as;
*Clients who want and need to process trauma, this could range from experienced or witnessed trauma, trauma that was a one time event to accumulative trauma, perhaps you hold intergenerational trauma that you want to work through and put a stop to some cyclical patterns.
*Clients who have a family member with an addiction or disorder. I have lived experience from this perspective and am happy to help you work through your story in navigating these emotions and events.
*Clients on a journey of Mothering and Motherhood. Some clients are processing anxiety, worry and stress around their identities and roles shifting, some clients are processing grief and loss around conception and pregnancy, some clients want guidance with changing structure and daily routines and to create new emotional spaces for the arrival of a new baby.
*Clients who are neurodivergent, especially children, youth, adolescents and young adults. Working in the outdoors brings a neutral space that is less intense than a typical and traditional therapy room.
*Clients who are on the verge of leaving school and/or their family of origin/chosen family to start a new chapter of their lives.
*Clients who are LGBTQIA+ or who are searching, exploring, discovering, anywhere between confused to certain. I am empathetic and competent.
*Clients with a faith and/or spirituality. I have worked often with clients who are exploring their identity and/or sexuality. Sometimes it is comforting to see a therapist where you don’t have to hide or avoid the topic of faith.
*Health care professionals and education professionals who benefit from time to recharge and gain perspective, processing compassion fatigue.
