Art Therapist
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to express what’s going on inside? Sometimes what we carry can feel too big, too tangled, or too quiet for words alone. Art therapy offers another way—using creativity, movement, and images to explore feelings and experiences in a way that doesn’t rely words alone.
As an art therapist with over a decade of experience in youth work and a deep commitment to neurodiversity-affirming care, I welcome people of all ages into a therapeutic space where there is no pressure to perform or create in a certain way. Inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS), it is my hope to invite curiosity and kindness, through creative expression, to however you arrive each day.
During our sessions together we may use art materials, play, or storytelling as gentle ways of getting to know and offering care to what’s happening inside. Following what feels most supportive in the moment - some days may be more hands-on and sensory-based while others will be quieter or more reflective. There is no art experience needed — just a willingness to show up and explore together!
