A graduate of the Toronto Art Therapy Institute, I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Art Therapist, and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional.

Throughout my professional career I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults within a variety of settings including children’s mental health, addiction and mental healthcare and long-term care. My youngest client to date was 4 years old and the oldest was 103. It’s exciting to witness how art therapy can be successful with all ages (and no skill in art making is required)!

I draw upon attachment-based therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, person-centred therapy, positive psychology, and strength-based psychology. We can use art and other creative means to help express and work though experiences, thoughts and feelings or we can talk (or a combination of both).

My areas of focus include managing anxiety, reducing stress, depression, emotional regulation, self-care, boundaries, coping with life changes, issues related to aging, identity, improving self- esteem, boosting confidence and addiction healing aftercare.

You are the expert of your life so we will collaborate to ensure that you receive care that is customized to meet your unique needs, personality, strengths, resources, and level of comfort.

My therapeutic style is curious, conversational, open-minded, compassionate, honest, flexible, easy-going, and very patient. Via the combination of art and verbal psychotherapy, I strive to create a nurturing space where clients of all ages can feel safe, heard, and accepted.
