As a credentialed Art Psychotherapist and Play Therapy practitioner, I offer a unique and flexible therapeutic child-centered approach that combines the best of both evidence-based modalities, all within a trauma-informed framework.

Both art therapy and play therapy are proven to support children and adolescents in overcoming emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges. While art therapy provides a creative and expressive space for children to explore their emotions, play therapy fosters healing through imaginative and interactive play. By integrating these two effective methods, I tailor each session to the individual’s needs, ensuring they receive the support they require in a way that resonates with them.

I work primarily with children as young as 4 years old through to adolescence, providing age-appropriate interventions that grow with the child. In my practice, art and play naturally complement each other, allowing the therapeutic process to evolve fluidly within the session. I provide a diverse range of tools that help children and adolescents process feelings, build emotional resilience, acquire a strong sense of self, and navigate life’s challenges in a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed environment.

As a registered member of ANZACATA, the peak professional association for Creative Arts Therapies in Australia, New Zealand and Asia, I am committed to upholding the highest standards of professional practice, ensuring that the care I provide is ethical, effective, and evidence-based. This dedication includes continuous professional development and adherence to the latest advancements in the field, enabling me to offer the most current and impactful therapeutic approaches for the individuals and families I support.
