Creativity can help us express so much more than words alone. Art therapy is a therapeutic process that combines art-making and talk-therapy, providing a safe and creative outlet for exploring thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to express.
If you're finding life challenging, or would like to use art as a tool for self-care, we can work together to identify self-help skills that feel authentic and empowering for you.

I care about working with each and every client to recognize their unique strengths and struggles, and figure out together what works for them, (even if it means getting creative!)
I believe in steering away from seeing pain as pathology, and instead, being with you in the human experiences that make you who you are, and recognizing the strengths that you already possess. Fundamentally, I understand and work with how trauma impacts the body, and recognize the wisdom of the body in therapy.

Developing a new relationship with your inner world can feel overwhelming and almost impossible at times. It is important to find a therapist that can help you explore your concerns with care, attention and support. My approach to psychotherapy is based on many years of training in both psychology and education. My passion for psychology led me to private practice after 20 years in the education sector. My role as a Principal of French Immersion Schools helps me establish strong therapeutic alliances with clients based on diverse interpersonal skills and a passion for the human condition.

Many of my clients appear capable and responsible on the outside but feel stuck internally. They may struggle with anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or persistent self-doubt. Often these patterns stem from earlier experiences that shaped beliefs about self-worth, safety, belonging, or personal agency. In therapy we work to process these experiences, understand the patterns that keep you stuck, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself, others, and the life you want to build.

Chronic pain and trauma specialist. Maybe you've spent years searching for answers, trying treatment after treatment, only to feel discouraged and alone. Caught between pushing through and paying for it later. It makes sense that you grieve for the life you expected, feel uncertainty about the future, and are tired of navigating a world that doesn’t understand. Your losses are real, and the loneliness that comes from feeling misunderstood and disconnected from an imagined life. It may seem there is no relief from the struggle with resentment, frustration and grief as you try to come to terms with the impact of pain on your life.

You are longing to find healing and growth, in a world designed to exhaust you. I support you using practical, evidence-based techniques, authentic connection, and a touch of humour. I work with adults, couples, and teens, in these areas of focus: identity, relationships (incl. poly/CNM, kink), sex, self-esteem, and life changes.
For individuals, we will work through life's complexities and untangle narratives you have internalized, perhaps unconsciously, that impact how you show up in the world. For couples, we will look deeper into conflict to find the heart of what you are really yearning for: connection, appreciation, safety.
