Navigating life's challenges can be difficult and reaching out for support is often the hardest step. I am here to provide a “safer”, caring and supportive space to you in your mental health journey. I step into the therapeutic space as a woman of colour and a psychotherapist. I recognize how the systems we exist in influence our lives and experiences. My approach is trauma-informed, intersectional, and anti-oppressive. In our sessions, I encourage exploration, offer support, and nurture fresh perspectives through gentle and creative methods.
I hold a master's degree in creative arts therapies, am a professional art therapist (CATA) and registered psychotherapist (qualifying) through the CRPO. My experience covers ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Burnout, Racial Identity, Grief & Loss, Life Transitions and Relationships. I use an eclectic blend therapeutic approaches to best meet your needs and goals.
I welcome folks of all ages and backgrounds to connect with me, prior experience in art is not needed. Art therapy can be integrated into sessions, and traditional talk therapy is always welcome. I am currently accepting new clients, let's explore if I'm the right fit for your healing journey. Reach out today for a 15 minute connection call.
