I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and professional artist with a trauma-informed, client-centered approach that integrates talk therapy with art therapy. I support children, youth, veterans and adults in navigating trauma, anxiety, and life transitions through creative, somatic, and relational work. Valuing a holistic approach rooted in the latest neuroscience, we'll move at your pace, using evidence-based techniques to help you break free from old patterns and step into a life of greater fulfillment, purpose and find solutions!
I offer evidence-based techniques grounded in counselling and expressive arts to help you break free from old patterns and build a life of purpose. My holistic approach integrates narrative, somatic, mindfulness, CBT and expressive arts therapies, all within a framework of cultural humility, empathy and trust.
Warm, curious and empathetic: I'm committed to guiding you towards profound growth and empowerment. Ready to embark on your transformative journey?

Using experiential and mindfulness and possibly art techniques, we will look at what emotions and thoughts you are experiencing and how they show up in your body. We will get curious about whether these beliefs are true and if they are serving you, or if there are new beliefs waiting to be written that are more true for the person you are becoming.
