Come as you are. I am devoted to creating a safe and supportive atmosphere. Whether you come with overwhelming anxiety, depression, unworthiness, a history of abuse, trauma, disordered eating or want to work on improving unhealthy thought patterns - all is welcome. Expressive Arts Therapy is a non-invasive nourishment focused approach to therapy that uses direct experience through art making to tap into the senses in order to explore thoughts, patterns, and belief systems. No prior technical skill is necessary. I understand my immense responsibility not only as a space-holder but also as a witness to your vulnerability.

As a clinical counsellor, I specialize in helping those dealing with hormonal imbalances, low self-confidence, burnout, and major life transitions. If you're feeling disconnected from yourself or overwhelmed by seemingly minor issues, chronic stress may be taking a toll on your well-being. Over time, this stress can deeply affect your emotional and physical health. Addressing these challenges can help you regain control, improve your relationships, and restore a sense of peace and fulfillment in your life. Change starts with recognizing the need for something better.

When my daughter was only three months old my husband got suddenly extremely sick, to the point that he almost didn’t make it. Although this marked a challenging moment in our lives, it was also a very transformative time. Once we survived those gruelling months, we decided to change our lives and do more of what we love. It was time for me to do what I always wanted to do in life, to help others find ways to fulfill there lives to the fullest as well as help people transition through difficult circumstances.

I am a narrative trained therapist who believes in collaboration, curiosity, and respect. When dilemmas and obstacles grow big enough, they can come to dominate our lives, pulling us towards dark ideas and stories in which we can feel hopeless, lost, scared, and disconnected. It is my aim as a therapist to work with clients to identify the challenges in their lives and explore how to move into more spaces of joy and preferred ways of living.

I focus on helping my clients process their experiences, recognize their strengths and resiliency, build awareness of patterns of stuckness, tap into their disposition towards growth and change, and cultivate skills they need to do so. I am particularly passionate about working with anxiety and stress, as well chronic physical conditions. As a former high-performance athlete who has undergone a life-changing injury leaving me with chronic pain, I bring a personal understanding of the powerful relationship between our physical health and mental health and the multi-leveled challenges that can come with major life transitions.
