In 2021, I graduated with a post-graduate diploma in art psychotherapy from the Canadian International Institute of Art Therapy (CiiAT), pivoting from my undergraduate studies in fine arts. I am now a professional member of the Canadian Art Therapy Association.

Finding a way to express yourself via colors, marks, patterns, or scribbles means that you are leaving your unique mark in this world. And the best part is that you don’t need to have any prior experience or skills in art-making — the process of art therapy is completely intuitive and adaptable to your needs. Whether you’re looking to overcome anxiety, depression, or grief; manage stress or overwhelm; or simply tap into your inner creativity, art therapy is the perfect tool through which you can connect with your inner thoughts and emotions and actively re-build and strengthen the connections between the mind, body, and soul. I have worked with women struggling with anxiety, career instability, chronic Illness, chronic pain, depression, grief, infertility, prenatal and postpartum concerns, relationship issues, self esteem issues, trauma, and PTSD. I specialize in virtual telehealth therapy, and most of my clients are middle-aged women. I primarily work closely with immigrants, new moms, and women going through transitions in their lives.

My approach is humanistic, client-centered and culturally sensitive. My sessions are rooted in a safe, non-judgmental, trauma-informed approach that is holistic in nature.

I have been working as a professional support to a diverse scope of clients for several decades. Following completion of my master’s degree in counselling psychology, I completed training in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). I am currently completing a doctorate in behavioural sciences through California Southern University and provide outpatient counselling to teens, adults, and elderly individuals struggling with a wide variety of mental health issues within a hospital setting. I am well-versed in approaching therapy from a systems-based, trauma-informed perspective that recognizes the role of attachment not only in the context of development but also with respect to healing within a trusting and safe relationship.

My approach to empowering people is client-centred and is heavily influenced by relational therapy (RT), as well as psychodynamic, EMDR, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing (MI), and the Gottman Method for couples. I am presently working toward completion of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) certification program and am passionate about its use. Honouring the dignity of all human beings, I infuse my counselling with humour, humility, and genuine curiosity and respect for all persons. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, and I particularly enjoy working with individuals living with borderline personality disorder. I have assisted many individuals within the LGBTQ2S+ community, with whom I am aligned and affirming. I will not only seek to know, understand, and celebrate the person you are as you journey together through the therapeutic process but will endeavour to ensure you feel safe, secure, and supported enough to do the same.

With more than a decade of experience, I am all about helping adults navigate the challenges of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burnt out. My approach is rooted in creating a warm, compassionate, and client-centered environment for folks to accept themselves while also challenging old stress responses that are no longer working.

You may come to therapy with a goal in mind, or we can create goals together. In therapy we can work on improving communication, strengthening boundaries, and building healthy relationships. I use EMDR therapy to help process trauma and shift unhelpful patterns.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, but I make the process as comfortable as possible. In a free 15-minute phone/video chat, we can discuss your concerns and explore whether my therapeutic style aligns with your needs.

I am happy to help people from all walks of life. I can help you develop self-esteem, establish self-care practices, and find confidence in who you are. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or life in general, we can work together to help you move towards a happier, more fulfilling life. I have worked with many neurodivergent adults and teens, elderly people struggling with dementia or Alzheimer’s, caregivers, and young adults trying to find their way. LGBT+ welcome!

I am a Professional Canadian Art Therapist, meaning I use creative processes to help facilitate self-exploration and understanding. Thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to articulate can be expressed through the use of materials and imagery.

If you are struggling with the past, present, or thoughts of the future, you may have a really hard time talking about it. Art therapy is a very gentle way of expressing everything you need to without having to divulge all of your innermost thoughts, feelings, and secrets. Don’t be afraid of the word art, scribbles, messes, and more are welcome here!
