Helping Children Thrive Through Play -
I believe that play is a child’s natural language, and through play therapy, children can communicate their emotions, process experiences, and develop essential coping skills. My work focuses not only on supporting the child but also on involving parents and caregivers, as family relationships are key to a child’s emotional growth.
By working together, I help families build stronger connections, improve communication, and create a nurturing environment where children feel understood and supported.

I'm trained in the "gold standard" for evidence-based counselling; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), as well as Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy, somatic work (body-based), EMDR & parts work for treating complex trauma, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), art therapy, and others, and I use the modalities that work best for each client.
Finding the right counsellor can be challenging. I understand because I've been through the search myself. That's why I offer a free 20 minute consultation so you can meet with me, ask any questions you have, and make sure it feels like a good fit before you book a session. On that call, you can expect to be met with warmth, respect, curiosity and sensitivity. I'll share a bit about the way that I work, and find out what success in counselling might look like to you. I have an easy to use online booking system or you can email me directly. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I'm here to help.

Life can feel overwhelming - especially when you're carrying emotional pain, past trauma, or facing big transitions. Maybe you're exhausted by old patterns—like shame, addiction, or stress responses—holding you back. You want to feel more grounded, resilient, and truly yourself again. I get it—and I’m here to help.

As a registered therapeutic counsellor and art therapist I believe in harnessing the creative process to help unearth things in our subconscious that we might have not realized just by talking it out or by thinking it through via regular talk therapy.
Think of art therapy as the creative, cool aunt of regular talk therapy. And yes, we also talk in sessions — the creative process just directs us into the conversation.
I work with anyone experiencing overwhelm and specialize in perfectionism, chronic pain, invisible illnesses such as fibromyalgia, and those grieving the loss of a beloved pet.

Our Psychologists, Counsellors, Art Therapists and Youth Care Workers use the science of psychology and apply it to the goals of positive emotion and connection.
We provide a welcoming atmosphere to those who might traditionally seek psychological consultation, as well as those who might not typically enter a psychologist's office, as they are wondering if they are 'too well' to seek consultation. We offer telehealth (either telephone or secure videocall) appointments and in office appointments.

The psychodynamic approach can help us gain new insights into our lives, and by integrating art into the session, it can become a powerful mind-body-oriented resource for individuals to look into themselves, and at their concerns, from a different angle.

I hold my Master of Counselling Psychology: Art Therapy (MCP: AT) degree from Adler University, where I focused on integrating art therapy, psychodynamic approaches, and EMDR.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I work primarily with adults who may be feeling stuck, unseen, or emotionally exhausted—particularly those carrying the weight of multiple roles and the quiet expectation to hold everything together. These experiences often manifest as anxiety, perfectionism, or challenges within relationships. I also work with teens navigating self-esteem concerns, body image struggles, and the challenges of life transitions and I also offer counselling in Spanish—because some things are best expressed in your first language.

Being in the nexus of something means you are right in the middle of it hence, easy to feel overwhelmed by the multitude of things coming at you. At Nexus, I will work with you within the context of a nonjudgmental, collaborative and healing therapeutic relationship to parse out and clearly see the interwoven links and connections that contribute to how you experience, perceive and interpret life's challenges, difficulties and obstacles. By understanding these connections, we can separate what is important to you and focus on your goal(s) to improve your mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

The Self calls to us in many ways. Life may feel destabilized, old patterns may be breaking, and a sense of urgency or confusion can arise. A crisis may reveal itself as significant relationship challenge, great loss, suicidal thoughts, loss of meaning, persistent anxiety, addiction, or simply an uncomfortable tug that persists no matter our efforts. These experiences are the psyches invitation into deeper awareness. My work offers a space to explore, attune, and integrate the deeper truths within you.
