I am an integrative arts psychotherapist, companioning adults from diverse backgrounds and life stages, in coming home to themselves for healing, growth, self-development and change.

Drawing from multiple modalities, I practice with a blend of traditional and contemporary Talk Therapy, Arts Therapy and Dreamwork, with creative and experiential approaches, through a psycho-spiritual lens. I am guided by my clients and their present moment experiences.
