I am a Social Worker Psychotherapist with strong ties to community mental health, addictions and harm reduction. I work relationally with individuals, and those in partnership with others - incl. couples and poly dynamics. I am drawn to themes of: shame, sexuality, neurodiversities, grief, and impediments to connection; both to oneself and others. I am a queer/ bisexual genderfluid person, but you don't have to be. I am also a person who lives with a long-term invisible chronic illness. I am based in Newfoundland but got my start as a therapist Ontario and am now a registered to provide therapy with clients in both provinces.

I am an art therapist who works with children, teens and adults. I continuously marvel at the wisdom of the body and bring an embodiment/mindfulness focus into my practice. My practice is queer affirming, trauma informed, abolitionist, and integrative. Together we can integrate stressful life experiences and challenging emotions, cultivate self-compassion and inner-knowing, and foster connection and belonging. I am available for online as well as in-person in my studio in the Annapolis Valley. Online art therapy can be a great fit for people who live farther away.

The harsher the memory, the softer the poem. -pavana reddy. Have you experienced wounding in relationships and find yourself struggling to cope amidst conflict or the aftereffects of trauma or harm? Do you long to love and enjoy yourself and life again (or perhaps for the first time)? Harm can happen in many relationships, including romantic, familial, and with the social world around us.

I strive to provide a safe and creative space for people to gain a deeper self-understanding and develop tools for navigating life's challenges. As a registered counselling therapist (candidate) and accredited music therapist, my speciality lies in integrating the creative processes (music, visual art, creative writing) in therapy as tools for self-expression, reflection, empowerment, and growth. I see each person as an innately and uniquely creative person capable of using this creativity as a resource in their therapy. Sessions with me typically integrate elements of talk therapy, music therapy, and mindfulness-based practices.

My work as a therapist is grounded by my belief in the inherent dignity of all people, the wisdom of our bodies, and our innate capacity to heal. I often work with people who might want to believe these things, too, but struggle to find hope after experiences of trauma or distress. I believe that therapy can help us learn to move through the world with more ease, presence, and compassion (for self and others). As a queer and non-binary therapist, I have a special place in my heart for queer and trans clients. I aim to offer a counselling experience that is safe and that does not require you to justify or explain your identity.

Feeling disconnected? Perhaps you're struggling to exist in a society that doesn't feel like its accepting of you?
