Outside of my therapy practice, I am an actor and musician. As a creative, I understand the physical labour and emotional vulnerability that can be involved in creating a piece of art. Specifically, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and shame can make putting yourself out there difficult. I aim to co-create a space with you that promotes emotional exploration and helps you break through barriers that may be impacting your creativity.
Note: I am not a music or art therapist, so I do not play music on a piano, for example, as a therapeutic intervention. However, you can absolutely bring music or art to our sessions. They can often provide different perspectives and windows into yourself that words alone have difficulty accessing.
