I believe every person is inherently creative, and that we each need to express our creativity in order to experience true wellness. I hold space and provide groups that meet you where you are.

I was born in the North east of England and spent many of my formative years in South Africa, Croatia, Holland as well as England. I obtained my Bachelor’s in Art and Spatial Design from Hull College of art and design in England. I have worked in mental Health for over a decade and I typically practice Art as therapy in groups.

I teach a variety of media including (but not limited to); ceramics, collage, fiber arts, handwork, enameling, resin, polymer clay, art journaling, jewelry, silk painting, batik, soap making, wood burning and a variety of mixed media.

In addition to sessions at CAC, I oversee the art therapy department at Skyland Trail, a nationally recognized nonprofit mental health treatment organization serving adults with a primary psychiatric diagnosis. I also serve on The Brookhaven Arts Council.
