I am a seer of beauty, an art therapist and psychotherapist.
I have previously worked for approximately 15 years as a registered nurse in acute hospital settings where I primarily attended to people’s physical needs. However. a person’s physical well-being is only one element of consideration. Our mental processes play a major role in determining our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. For example, instilling hope provides people with the ability to survive adverse circumstances and overcome great physical, mental and environmental obstacles. Thus, I became an art psychotherapist to participate and facilitate in the role of a hope-giver. I have counselled clients who have experienced complex trauma (PTSD), depression and anxiety as an art psychotherapist in psychiatric hospitals in both Melbourne and Brisbane. I wanted to start a business in Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast so that people can have the opportunity to be supported in their recovery within a community setting. I have lived in a number of different countries and visited many more. As a result, I have communicated with people from a variety of different backgrounds and cultures. I love the diversity and richness of different cultures. I continue my own art practice enjoying the process of transformation and creation.
