Feeling lost, stressed, or overwhelmed? Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, or past trauma, you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, rebuild confidence, and develop tools for emotional balance. I believe you are the expert of your life, and my role is to walk alongside you—offering support, connection, and guidance as you navigate your healing journey. Your privacy is my top priority, and I would be honoured to support you in achieving your emotional goals. Reach out for a free consultation—I’d love to work with you.
As a Registered Social Service Worker and Expressive Arts Therapist in training, I offer holistic, client-centred therapy that honours your unique background and experiences. My approach blends practical tools like somatic practices and creative expression with a trauma-informed, harm-reduction lens—helping you meaningfully align your mind, body, and soul!
Therapy doesn’t need to feel heavy. I believe in bringing playfulness into our work space, encouraging a beginner’s mind as we explore different ways for you to express yourself. No prior creative experience is needed—just an openness to discover what resonates with you. Whether through discussion, writing, drawing, painting, singing, dancing, or music.
