I am a bilingual Registered Psychotherapist and Professional Art Therapist. I offer both talk and/or art therapy, you get a personalized treatment plan, according to your needs and goals. I utilize art as a means of holistic expression and believe in the potential for positive and continuous growth and change for everyone. I use art/talk therapy to explore/process unpack thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive space. My approach uses Person-Centered, Strength-Based, Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotions Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness skills. My thesis on ABI is published with American Art Therapy Association.

I support individuals who feel stuck and are curious about engaging in therapeutic art-making as an instrument of growth, support and personal empowerment. I work from a place of witnessing the human experience, with art-making at the centre that supports the healing process and anchors the therapeutic relationship. Art-making within a secure therapeutic relationship offers an opportunity to practice self-care and provides a safe place for further self-discoveries, new ways of solution finding and gaining new skills to manage some of life’s challenges.

Over the past two decades, I have been working with children, youth and adults from an anti-oppressive, strength-based and client-centered approach. Having worked in a variety of clinical and non-clinical settings, with training in various therapeutic modalities, I work with my clients to best understand what goals they want to focus on. It is important that every person who seeks counselling is supported by someone they feel comfortable and confident with. I welcome the opportunity to discuss whether I could be a fit for you.

My therapeutic process incorporates the importance of the mind-body connection, and self-care into treatment. I use an integrative approach, combining aspects of the Biopsychosocial model, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Mindfulness, and Client-Centered Therapy to work with individuals, families, and youth. I work collaboratively with clients to explore barriers in their lives, and create goals that allow clients to live more authentic and engaged lives. Ultimately, the aim of the therapeutic journey is to enhance the clients’ self-awareness and relationship with themselves and those around them.
