Love and Grief. Loneliness. School Can’t. Power Struggles. Doubt. Disenchantment. Impoverishment. Cultures. Identities. Mind-Body Connection. Spiritual Emergence. These are my jams. I work with all ages and faces in beautiful spaces. I want you to get a lot out of therapy, not just a bandaid or another set of textbook rules/strategies to get by, but a way of life that is deeply congruent and satisfying to who you truly are, as well as your own portable home of what I call the 7 Friends of Universal Human Needs: Safety, Support, Truth, Freedom/Creative Expression, Value and Worth, Beauty, and Vibrant Connection to All of Life.
Grounded in research and practice-based evidence and deep care, I tailor my approach to your needs and style. Together we tend to the depths of your being, doing, thinking, felt-sensing and relating; tenderly, playfully and/or fiercely. Herein we cultivate greater choice, clarity and vitality. We practice the art of belonging to our vibrant self and world.
Hard work can bring the most FUN. I endeavour to make therapy enjoyable to even the least "arty" or “touchy-feely”. I value authenticity, and I appreciate differences between us as good medicine. It’s really okay (and so worth it!) to be deeply known and understood. Pls reach out with your obstacles, questions, intentions and hopes - preferably by email.

I worked clinically as a nurse before stumbling upon the field of therapeutic arts. Working simultaneously in both professions, I have developed an insight into both camps and their intersection. I am committed to offering a balanced approach grounded in both Art and Science for my clients.
