A registered art therapist, licensed clinical mental health clinician, and a global MHPSS expert with a doctorate in public health experienced within a diversity of locations and contexts providing expertise in clinical mental health, MHPSS assessment, capacity building, training and programming.

I combine the knowledge of two important health fields, art therapy & public health and strive to identify best practices in providing support to children and families who have limited to no access to mental health support.
