My website

I work with individuals from their teenage years through later adulthood who are feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, anxious, or simply unsure of their next steps. My approach is grounded, creative, and collaborative—I meet you exactly where you are and help you reconnect with your inner clarity and resilience. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I offer an affirming, inclusive space for people of all identities and lived experiences. Whether you’re navigating questions of identity, relationships, life transitions, or emotional exhaustion, you don’t have to do it alone.

Let’s connect with your imagination and guide your mind and body in a nourishing way. Together we will engage in play with writing, poetry, photography, visual arts, dramatic exploration, storytelling, embodied movement, sound exploration and/or nature based arts using a low skill approach. All of the work is based on your needs & curiosities at the moment.

My clients have described me as compassionate and non-judgemental, and I value these traits as a counsellor. I offer you a space that is open, caring and supportive, giving you the opportunity to find your inner resources. If you are looking to make a change but aren't sure where to begin, lets talk. I can offer a free 15 minute consultation.

A typical session would start by checking in with how you're feeling in that moment, focusing on the present. From here we enter the world of the imagination and engage with the arts. I use the resource oriented approach, focusing on your strengths, inner potential and positive resources rather than your deficits. Building your resilience, knowing you are the expert of your experiences.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Expressive Arts

My practice is rooted in Expressive Arts Therapy. In your first few sessions, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and a bit of your personal history before diving into the work. With EXA we will engage with play and the imagination in each session, and identify resources you already possess to help you with any issues you are dealing with.
