About me

Are you feeling a sense of guilt or shame and struggle with negative thoughts? Do you feel stressed out and heavy and stopped doing things that once brought you joy? Together, you and I will figure out what’s really going on. There is a reason this all is happening and I want to discover where it’s coming from with you. I’ll help you connect to a greater awareness of your experience while releasing tension. I do this by using methods such as art-making, experimentation, exploration and mindfulness. I focus on a person’s individual nature and help clients take more of a lead in their healing and personal growth. I offer a safe and nurturing space for clients to express themselves and process difficult things. For the past 10 years, I have focused on facilitating non-traditional and innovative programs to help individuals who have had difficulties with anxiety, depression, identity and social issues, PTSD, suicide, self-harm, neurodevelopment differences, behavioural issues, life transitions and other mental health factors. In sessions, we’ll address where you are still getting stuck and experiment with different solutions. Then we might make art to further explore your issues and challenges. Together you’ll be able to experience a new level of understanding of what’s going on beneath the surface. Shedding light where your anxiety and depression originated can provide a powerful healing experience.
