The Path Behind the Practice

My Roots and Pathway

If you're curious about the journey that brought me here — the studies, affiliations, and the spaces I’ve been honoured to work within — you're welcome to explore below.


This part is less about titles and more about transparency, trust, and the roots that shape my practice.

Education and Experience

My approach to therapy is rooted in formal training, but just as much in years of listening, creating, unlearning, and living fully.

​

I’ve studied art therapy, mental health, and human development through degrees, registrations, and ongoing learning. These foundations matter — but what truly guides me is a deep curiosity about how we heal, express the inexpressible, and grow through connection.

​

I don’t see myself as the expert on your life. Instead, I walk alongside you, bringing both knowledge and humanity. For me, therapy is a collaborative journey shaped by trust, creativity, and respect.

​

Before becoming a therapist, I lived many lives — as a barista, an entrepreneur, and more — navigating change and growth that wasn’t always neat but was always rich with learning.

​

That winding path — fueled by a love of art and curiosity about the human experience — led me back to art therapy, a space where creativity and care meet.

​

Art has long been my way of understanding emotion, so this work has always been part of me. My past roles shaped how I see resilience and how healing often starts in small, ordinary moments.

​

Now, I bring all of this — lived experience, training, and respect for creativity — into our work together. I’m here as someone holding space beside you for exploration, healing, and growth.
