I’m a Registered ANZACATA Art Therapist, advocate, and comic artist. My journey into art began with a big imagination and whatever creative tools I could get my hands on. Today, I express myself through comics, crafts, and creative writing. I can relate to those who struggle to navigate and express big emotions because I can relate.

I provide a space where people can explore and express feelings creatively and at their own pace. I believe when we engage with our emotions more playfully, they become much less intense and more accessible. Play gifts us the freedom to sit with and understand complex feelings a little better.

As a comic artist and writer, I often use therapeutic comics in sessions to help people share their stories and begin a visual conversation. Comics not only promote recovery but also deepen understandings of how to support and honour people’s unique lived experience.

I draw on a range of approaches—including Narrative Art Therapy, Eco-Therapy, Community Art Therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, attachment theory, child development, trauma neurobiology, and social justice theory—to provide a holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally aware therapeutic experience. I am especially passionate about fostering strength-based and self-compassion skills. These skills are crucial for healing, personal and communal growth, and creative advocacy.

I have worked in various organisations, including education, residential living centres, community services, and family violence. I am currently pursuing further research in narrative therapy and its relationship to art therapy and comics.

My mission is to help people forge deep connections with themselves and others. I feel privileged to grow as a therapist and person through the stories people share with me.
