Serious about healing. Fun about the process. Everyone can benefit from therapy. Whether you’re struggling with postpartum, parenting challenges, anger, grief and grieving, excessive worry, low mood, existential questioning, relationship difficulties, boundary setting and healthy coping strategies, navigating life changes, self-sabotaging behaviours, or feeling safe in your own body, we’d be happy to provide support, advocate for your rights, build skills, and work towards increasing your overall quality of life. Life is hard, but it should also include some fun, too. We can help you find and build that balance.
I specialize in the blending of traditional talk therapy and body-based therapies, including recreation therapy, the use of creative arts with a strong focus on the use of dramatic arts therapeutic techniques, and somatic-based interventions. Workshops, consultations, individual sessions and group/family sessions are available.
Whether you’re looking for support, skill building, a safe place to talk, or the opportunity to try something new, all are welcome and when you're ready, we're here to support.

My passions are helping individuals find inner peace following difficult experiences (e.g., trauma); experiencing thoughts of suicidality, self-harm and engaging in risk-taking behaviours, as well as processing feelings of anger. My goal is to empower clients, create autonomy, provide education and advocacy, and facilitate skill building so clients can live their best lives.

We'll explore what brought you to therapy in your first session, and from there make a plan of potential treatments that may help. I tend to incorporate body-based approaches and movement into the treatment process, along with cognitive and behavioural therapies, the creative arts, and look for fun ways to make the process enjoyable - which is very important if you've ever experienced any trauma.
