I create a nurturing space that encourages authentic expression and connection with young people who navigate significant transitions from childhood to adulthood. Through creative methods, we create space to celebrate their strengths, cultivate autonomy, and nurture self-compassion. I create an inclusive and empathetic environment tailored to meet young people’s unique needs and values. Through different creative processes, I encourage resilience and self-awareness building, and we work toward adding some creative coping tools into their toolkits.

Art therapy for young adults addresses a wide range of challenges, from managing stress and emotions to exploring identity and personal growth. I help young adults express their inner worlds through a variety of mediums, including different art materials, narrative techniques, and creative rapport. The focus remains on the artistic process rather than the outcome, which allows for playful exploration without the need for prior artistic skills or training. It is less about them being ‘good’ at art, and more about art being good for them!
