Art Therapist, Counselor, Drug & Alcohol Counselor and Therapist
I'm really glad you're here. Let me tell you a little bit about myself, and please, if you have any other questions/wonderings /curiosities drop me a line. You can send me an email below or give me a call/ text.
Over the past 25+ years I've supported a wide variety of people on their healing journeys. Together, we have worked through issues around trauma (current, historic & generational) PTSD, addiction & recovery (including alcohol, drugs, food, sex, gaming, porn, shopping, relationships & gambling), relationships, sexuality & sexual orientation, anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar disorder. I have also supported people who live differently-abled lives, including those living on the autism spectrum and with Downs Syndrome.
As a Clinical Counsellor, Art Therapist, Substance Misuse Counsellor, Life Coach, EFT & Reiki practitioner, I am able to draw from many different directions so, together, we can build a healing plan that fits your specific needs, goals and visions for the future.
That says a lot about how I work and my experience but, not so much about who I am as a person. I use she/her pronouns and am a cis-gendered, sober, survivor of multiple traumas, the most damaging ones being as a very young person. I identify as pansexual and hope I am as non-judgemental, caring and compassionate as I believe myself to be. I love to make art, walk, dance, meditate & practice yoga. I'm one who doesn't have a ton of friends but the ones I do, I hold very dearly and love them hard, with all my heart. Most-importantly of all, I am the mother of two amazing young men.
