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.
