Hello and welcome. I am the resident art psychotherapist at Greenhouse Therapies. I am an approachable therapist with experience working with many emotional issues from a trauma-informed and attachment-based perspective. Maybe you have reached a stage in life where you want to let go of certain ways of thinking or behaviours that no longer support you. You may find you have specific coping mechanisms that you would like to release, and you are seeking support to find a new way of being in the world.

You do not need to be ‘good’ at art or have much art-I am experienced in working with trauma, developmental trauma, childhood abuse, and self-harm. Art therapy has been shown to reduce cortisol and other stress hormones and can be helpful when working with acute or chronic issues. I also provide Emotional Freedom Technique, which can support you in letting go of old habits and ways of thinking and creating healthier pathways. My additional training is in sensorimotor art therapy, which includes co-regulation through mindful movement and breathing, which can support your nervous system and well-being. This ‘bottom-up’ approach strives to achieve emotional co-regulation through art-making before moving into relational and more cognitive processes where appropriate.
