As a clinically trained art therapist, I use guided creative techniques to support you in exploring challenging feelings and experiences, regulating emotions, and developing new coping strategies in a safe and supportive environment.

First myth to bust for 2026!

In reality, confidentiality is a core part of therapy, and your privacy is deeply respected. What you share in sessions stays there, with only very limited legal exceptions that are explained clearly at the start. This also extends beyond the therapy room — if I see you out in the community, I won’t acknowledge you unless you acknowledge me first. That way, you stay in control of who knows and when. Therapy is your space, and your choice.

Kia ora koutou!

It's been a bit quiet on the social media front while I've been winding down for the year, but I'm here to post my hours over the festive season.

I'll be closed from 22nd of December - 5th of January.
If you would like to schedule an extra session for you or your child before I finish up for the year, I have availability on Thursday, Friday, Saturday morning, and Monday, so please reach out asap and let me know what would work for you.

While I have never been a point of contact for crisis situations, I understand how much extra pressure this time of year can be - particularly if you are having a break from your regular sessions. If you feel as though you need immediate support, please reach out to one of the following:

Sitting across from a stranger and talking about your most vulnerable and complicated experiences and feelings isn't easy.

If you or your child/teen need support but are looking for something that feels more comfortable and allows you to go at your own pace, send me a message.

Interested in art therapy but don't live in Rotorua?

I actually travel to a few different towns. As long as there's a space available to use, we can definitely arrange for art therapy to be accessible for you or your child.

It's Monday again 🗓️

Art therapy is about creating safety, not re-living pain. You’re always in control of what you share and how deeply you explore. We begin with grounding, regulation, and building trust, so your body and mind feel supported before any deeper work happens. As a trained and clinically registered art therapist, I’m here to hold that space with care — guiding the process safely and gently as healing unfolds through colour, texture, and creative expression.

Just because you graduate, doesn't mean you ever stop learning....

Last month I had the privilege of attending a 2-day Sandplay Therapy workshop in the Waikato. I love learning about this approach the therapy, understanding the psyche, and expressing our inner worlds 🌏
