Art Therapy in Scarborough, ON

For those feeling unfulfilled, stuck, not quite themselves, or struggling with emotional regulation, I welcome you. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, childhood sexual abuse, relational and developmental trauma, and personal relationships. I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities including psychodynamic, mindfulness, solution-focused, trauma-informed, and emotionally-focused approaches. I provide a space for clients that is free of judgment, inclusive, and empowering.

I am an expressive arts therapist working from a person-centered approach. I am inspired by liberation healing and am invested in understanding colonial impacts on mental health. I value the intersectionalities and breadth of human identities, dis/abilities, experience, and creative expressions. I understand and respect how these aspects may contribute to one's mental health and life challenges. My work is centered around relationships​ and using the arts and dialogue as catalysts for personal inquiry, discovery, and growth.

Using a client-centred approach, I guide our sessions based on what resonates most with you and your individual needs. You can expect an open and receptive environment, and a safe space where emotions can be deeply felt and expressed.

Possibilities Clinic offers a unique team approach on all diagnostic assessments and treatment plans which includes ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Tourette Syndrome/Tic Disorder, OCD, Autism and Early Language & Social Development. Possibilities Clinic serves children, teens, and adults across Ontario with in-person and Telemedicine assessments and treatments.

****CURRENTLY, TAKING NEW CLIENTS****My practice method is client centered which offers individualized support for a variety of psycho-social and emotional challenges, for example, anxiety, depression, Behavioural issues, relationship challenges or life transitions. I offer system navigation tools and resources to better support you through life's challenges and hurdles.

You have tremendous power. The power to define your world, your relationships, your life. The power to be your true self. Yet, life can bring challenges that make us feel powerless. Passion can turn into doubt, fear, and anger. Love and joy can become pain and emptiness. For many of us, no single event alone changes us, but at some point, we find ourselves lost. I believe in the power of hope. I believe you can rediscover your strength, purpose, and sense of control. You can reclaim yourself—your courage, confidence, clarity, creativity, and compassion. I have hope that you can be who you want to be, no matter what comes your way.

Welcome! Are you looking for a space to explore your current stressors, to understand your emotions and behaviours, current coping strategies, and to find new ways to support your healing? As a registered social worker for the last 12 years, I am deeply committed to helping individuals of all ages navigate the complexities of their inner worlds to strengthen their self-awareness and healing. I will provide support to find relief from symptoms but also gain valuable insights into your authentic self, empowering you to navigate life's challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and authenticity.

We all come from vastly unique life experiences and identities, and there is no “one size fits all” way to heal and grow. I take an eclectic approach to therapy that is guided by my clients' individual needs. My practice is influenced by relational, narrative, experiential, and existential modalities, which I have a keen interest in integrating with creative and somatic techniques. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that values warmth, curiosity, and collaboration. I work through the lens of an intersectional feminist, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed framework that centers you as the expert of your own experiences.

My clients are often…1) Individuals struggling with anxiety, racing thoughts, & high stress, 2) Young professionals navigating the stressors of life transitions, relationship issues or family drama, the weirdness of being in their 20’s & 30’s, all whilst trying to build their career, family and find success, 3) Men of all ages navigating relationship issues, anxiety, career change, men’s issues or other stressors, 4) individuals who struggle to set boundaries, articulating their needs or building confidence and 5) Those looking for a therapist that doesn’t feel stuffy, formal or daunting - someone they can be comfortable with.
