Relational psychotherapy can be an effective tool when grappling with: anxiety, care taking/giving tendencies, narcissistic and neglectful parenting, attachment, self-sufficiency, hypervigilance, isolation, authenticity, masculinity, meaninglessness, depression, shame, complex emotional and intergenerational trauma, identity, and existential angst. My practice is informed by an attachment, trauma, and neurobiological perspective and grounded in mindfulness and empathy. Additionally, my approach considers the wider social, political and economic context of your relational world.

I identify as a neurodivergent, cis-gender, white, settler, woman. My identity and lived experiences with mental health inform my work with clients.

I work adult clients ranging in age from their 20s to 100s.

It is not just our problems- the procrastination, addiction, depression, that need solutions, but our heavy emotions- the loneliness, loss, guilt, fear, the feeling of being closeted, that need space to be seen & accepted. Here I am, to listen to the stories of these emotions- the ones of shame, sadness, unspoken experiences, confusing thoughts, the ones that were pushed under the carpet, to allow them to exist and take up space. As a BIPOC immigrant, I understand the impact of colonial and patriarchal violence on marginalised communities, and allow stories & the arts to help you understand yourself and find confidence.

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy which recognizes the existence of an unconscious mind that influences how we behave, think, and feel. Together we pay attention to what matters to you. Therapy is a conversation, but it is a very unique kind of conversation. Much of this conversation involves deep listening on my part. I also help you stay with your experience in order that the possible meanings of such things as painful emotional and relational patterns, dreams, physical symptoms, and fantasies can emerge.

She helps clients with their pain and suffering as well as deepen their personal growth and improve their emotional well-being.

I believe that each of us wants to be his or her "best self" every day, but at times in our lives that may be difficult to do. Sometimes this is because of troubling interpersonal relationships or patterns that we ourselves participate in but are unaware of. Developing awareness of these patterns, with a view to personal change and growth, is key to enhancing day-to-day life. We will work together to think about how to reframe your experiences and help you to achieve the necessary shifts toward the life that you wish to live.

"Manifest the change you seek". People tend to seek therapy when they want to make a change in their lives or way of being and need a little help or guidance making that change.

As an Art Therapist, I work primarily with children of divorce who struggle with anxiety, depression, self-regulation, and social and behavioural issues related to changes in the family system. I practice Art Therapy using a Humanistic strengths-based approach while providing skill-building as a psycho-educational component to strengthen resiliency. Additionally, I believe that being creative (not necessarily just artistic) is an integral part of a prevention model to improve children's mental health and actively promote creative expression in my life, my studio and my community.
