As an art therapist, I am fortunate to combine my two life long passions, art and counseling psychology, to help others overcome adversity. I believe art is a way for people to express themselves when words fail or seem not enough. As with traditional talk therapies, art therapy utilizes various techniques aiming to calm, explore, and deepen understanding of the client, their self and experiences. You do not have to be an artist to participate in art therapy sessions. Art therapy is about exploring your self and experiences through the use of art materials.

My approach is humanistic, client-centred, nonjudgmental, and trauma-informed meeting the client where they are at in their healing journey. While my focus is on art therapy, sessions are guided by the needs of the client whether it is art making or talking.

I work with children, youth (17+), adults, and older adults.
