Welcome. Imagine blending mixed therapeutic modalities with the creativity of Drama Therapy – a unique and powerful approach that sparks personal growth and transformation. As your therapist, I guide you (or you and your partner) beyond traditional talk therapy, helping you unlock your creative potential to break free from old patterns and discover new ways of communicating. With compassionate, gentle support, we’ll explore and rehearse new responses to life’s challenges, creating a safe, healing space for self-expression and fresh solutions
I’m an Afro-American living in Halifax with roots that extend into the Latin-Caribbean and Indigenous heritage. My practice is also geared toward members of the LGBTQ+ community. I am supportive of all walks of life and offer a genuine openness to empowering you in discovering how to live your best life—one rooted in deep personal growth that uplifts you.
Providing a welcoming space where individuals and groups can express themselves freely. I support young adults, adults, and mature adults of all backgrounds, focusing on stress, anxiety, and personal growth. I also work with performing artists and those seeking creative approaches, emphasizing equity, racialization, and empowerment
