Are you struggling to move through grief and loss, bereavement, or other life changes and challenges? Is anxiety, depression, or illness reducing your capacity to cope? Do you want to more authentically connect to and validate your core values, identity or orientation? Together we can focus on your goals, using psychotherapy and creative expression to manage stress, increase joy, and find peace in each moment. We will co-create a warm, trusting and respectful therapeutic environment where your artistic practice opens space for increasing your self-compassion and strengthening your wellbeing.
I am an Ottawa-based art therapist who supports adults, elders, and adolescents in a mindful and embodied practice, where creating art becomes the foundation to express and explore throughout your healing journey. No previous art-making experience is required. I will not judge or interpret your artwork, instead we will find meaning together.
I have a particular passion for working with people of diverse gender, sexual, and relationship orientations. I am polyam, kink, and queer affirming. Whoever you are, I aim to make you feel seen, validated, and safe with me.

I work with clients who may be struggling with life transitions and stresses. During our initial sessions we will focus on what you want to change, what strengths and resources need to be brought to bear. Creating art in each session can create a both a focus and record of the therapeutic process. Reflecting on the creative act or the content can help find your path through in a novel way.
