Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. Life’s challenges can sometimes leave us feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected. Whether healing from the impact of trauma, struggling with mental health or issues of self-worth, difficult emotions or relationships, I offer a space of safety, acceptance, and empathy for you to pause, breathe, and feel supported on your path toward wellbeing, self-acceptance, healing, and growth. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based, encouraging self-compassion and grounded in connection and creativity.

As a counselling art therapist, I use talk therapy and art therapy together in a fluid and flexible manner. Art therapy is a creative psychotherapy that helps people explore, process, and express thoughts and emotions, heal from and integrate their experiences, and connect more deeply with themselves through artmaking - no artistic experience required.

My practice is rooted in the belief that everyone has innate wisdom and the capacity to heal, especially when supported through creative expression and connection. Creative expression can foster resilience and meaningful change, though artmaking is always optional. Together, we will co-create a process that feels authentic, supportive, and meaningful to you.
