Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Art Therapist.
Life can often feel too intense. We all deserve support. Psychotherapy can be a powerful way to work through those moments in life when we can’t see a way forward- when we feel stuck, lost, alone, disconnected, and overwhelmed.
Whatever you may be struggling with, you don’t have to do it alone. In the context of a strong therapeutic relationship, we can make sense of your experience and help you work through it, together.​

Somatic Psychotherapy
Strategies for managing the nervous system that can help us deal with anxiety, overthinking, emotional flooding and being overwhelmed.
​A traumatic experience can damage implicit processes such as regulating emotions, being able to engage with others, and defense mechanisms against threat. After experiencing a traumatic event, an individual’s relationship with their body may be impacted. For example, the nervous system may not regulate emotions effectively, causing feelings of vulnerability, being overwhelmed, or frightened.

MA, RP, RYT | Registered Psychotherapist | Registered Art Therapist
I am passionate about a holistic and embodied approach to mental health care - one that honours the entire person and all aspects of being: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. I acknowledge that our bodies hold the whole of our life experience, and therefore must be included in the healing process. I specialize in working with clients who identify concerns relating to histories of trauma, as well as anxiety, depression, social struggles, major life changes, chronic shame, and emotion regulation struggles. I help clients rediscover or deepen a sense of safety and vitality in their bodies, their choices and their relationships.
