My Commitment to Ethics
In my practice, I create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions through a combination of psychotherapy (talk therapy), narrative therapy, and art therapy. Whether we’re talking through your experiences or using creative expression to explore feelings that are hard to put into words, I’m here to help guide your healing journey. These approaches work together to help you process emotions, reshape your personal narrative, and find new perspectives on your life.
I’m dedicated to ensuring that every step of this process respects your autonomy, protects your privacy, and keeps you fully informed. The ethical guidelines I follow are in place to help you feel comfortable, safe, and empowered as we work together.

You are the expert on your own life. My role is to offer a gentle, compassionate presence and the structure needed to understand, process, and shift what’s been shaping your story. I believe therapy works best when we slow things down and look at what has been taking up all the space in your life, and what hasn’t been getting enough of it.
My approach is shaped by my background as an emergency nurse and my own path as a creative person. This allows me to offer a unique blend of calm, clinical grounding and intuitive, creative support, no matter what you’re going through.
