I am a clinical psychologist with 30 years experience. My clients come because they are sad, fearful, angry or grief stricken. Some feel empty, isolated, and lack meaningful connections with others. Some suffer from “Covid Aftermath” and need support in reconnecting with people and activities they once found pleasurable. Some are experiencing painful losses or care-giver fatigue. Some are “haunted” by past trauma. Some are driven by obsessions, compulsions and addictions that interfere with daily living. Seniors come to explore end of life issues and ease the sorrows and regrets that come with a life long-lived.

Being a human can be beautiful, but also hard- often sticky and overwhelming, full of stress, anxieties, transitions, uncertainties, loss and grief. Recognizing that it can be hard to ask for help if you're struggling, or if you just want to find more meaning and fulfillment- you do not have to do it alone. Whatever you are currently experiencing, we will work collaboratively to build up your resources and resilience, navigate relationships and establish positive coping skills while we unpack feelings, thoughts and patterns of behaviour that are no longer serving you.

I specialize in working with those experiencing grief or loss, identity challenges, family conflict, anxiety, and depression.
I offer deeply compassionate client-centered services for adolescents and adults. I am trained in the evidence-based models of Psychodynamic, ACT, CBT, and Narrative therapy as well as the Creative Arts Therapies, with an expertise in Drama Therapy (Role theory, Psychodrama, Improv, etc.). I interweave these modalities to best suit my client’s needs. My therapy approach goes beyond talk therapy, to also be embodied, creatively expressive, and somatically based. In this way emotions, memories, and presenting issues are explored and processed not only with words but with movement, metaphors, play, and body relaxation techniques.

I have experience working with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, transitions, loss and grief, relationship challenges, identity exploration, HIV/AIDS, and trauma.
Stepping into therapy can be evocative. It invites us to delve into our inner world and befriend parts of ourselves who we discover - often the hurt, hidden, and hopeful. I join you for this journey as your guide and am committed to embodying collaboration, warmth, playfulness, curiosity, and compassion. In our space we will safely weave together your stories, explore meaningful insights, and experiment with new ways of being, feeling, and relating. My approach to care is rooted in anti-oppressive, intersectional, and trauma-informed frameworks. I also bring years of experience as a queer musician and music therapist into my work.

It’s been said that showing up for ourselves is the hardest, most important work we’ll ever do. Whether you find yourself grieving a significant loss, processing a difficult life change, or simply wanting to explore a different way of relating to yourself and the people around you, I know that it takes courage to be here. I see therapy as a sort of pilgrimage to our authentic, whole selves, sometimes in the face of darkness and grief. Journeying through what feels difficult in our lives is part of bringing our fullest and best into the world, and I would be honoured to accompany you in this journey.

I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and Art Therapist who supports youth, families and adults across a range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, self-esteem, family conflict, relationships, ADHD, career and burnout, self-actualization, racial identity, and trauma.
Your inner world shapes your experience of the outer world, and vice versa. And so it makes sense to understand your inner workings, cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself, and remove the barriers in the psyche that prevent you from experiencing the world in a way that feels authentic, liberated, peaceful and expansive. This is the gift of psychotherapy – whether through talk therapy or art therapy, I strive to offer a safe, non-judgmental space to process your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences collected on your journey, as well as to spark the change you wish to see in your life.

Since 2006, I have been supporting people in traversing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, isolation, life transition, discrimination, racism, and systemic oppression.
Sometimes , the journey of life can be a rough one. You feel lost, defeated, alone, and full of fear. But you haven’t given up. There’s a part of you that tells you that somehow there’s still hope, that you just need a helping hand.

I understand what it's like to feel anxious, depressed, experience loss and trauma, and endure major life transitions.
Do you have difficulty processing and regulating your emotions? Are you experiencing stress or burnout in school or at work? Do you find it difficult to prioritize your needs and set boundaries for yourself or with others? Are you having difficulties with communication or connection in your relationships? Maybe you feel "stuck" in certain patterns and unsure about how to break free? Or maybe you often feel unseen and unheard in your life and you're seeking a welcoming space. Together we will find inner clarity, foster self-compassion, learn coping and relational skills, and shift you from a state of surviving to thriving.
