About Me

My calm presence offers steady ground during challenging times. I work with each client to develop a personalised plan, promoting strength and wellbeing. I blend Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with art therapy, where appropriate, to encourage psychological health. This unique approach helps cultivate your inner resources. It is a good match if you seek both practical tools and creative expression for growth.

Approach

You’ll notice sessions move between clear, practical steps and gentle creative exploration to help you name patterns and try new responses. In my Newport Beach office or via secure online sessions conducted in English, we set a measured pace—short, focused experiments in session with simple practices to try between meetings. Art materials may be used as a way to access feelings alongside thought-focused exercises, so progress is both felt and learned. This approach fits people seeking grounded, collaborative change.
