Have you experienced a traumatic event in your life? For some people, trauma was experienced in childhood, or through sexual assault, being involved in an accident, being in an emotionally or physically abusive relationship, not having your basic needs met, or experiencing it through your work as a frontline worker. Untreated trauma can fester in one's body and present as anxiety/panic, depression, anger, irritability, sleep/eating issues, inability to concentrate, low self-esteem or intimacy issues.

MEN, are you feeling down or chronically stressed/anxious? Struggling to control anger? You may feel disconnected from loved ones or humanity. Or maybe you feel lost in our rapidly changing society. Challenges unique to men must be met to feel fulfilled and connected, yet most of us never learned how to truly engage in our world and with loved ones. I specialize in helping fellow men (and others) develop and maintain healthy habits and relationships. If you’re looking for a therapist for the first time, I know it can be particularly intimidating; I give careful consideration to this and strive to make it as comfortable as possible.

Put simply, we work through processing what has brought you to therapy by talking about it AND creating about it. You don’t have to be the next Picasso to try Art Therapy - you just have to show up with some colouring tools & somewhere for them to land. The art that you make during your session is not about what is on the canvas, it’s about how YOU see it.

Hi, I’m Becca. If you’re here, you might feel like you’re stuck in the mud of life— caught between feeling like you’re “too much” or “not enough”.
