Adults and Teens 14+

Are you struggling to move through grief and loss, bereavement, or other life changes and challenges? Is anxiety, depression, or illness reducing your capacity to cope? Do you want to more authentically connect to and validate your core values, identity or orientation? Are these challenges creating stress in your personal relationships or at work? Together we can focus on your goals, using psychotherapy and creative expression to manage stress, increase joy, and find peace in each moment. We will co-create a warm, trusting and respectful therapeutic environment where your artistic practice opens space for increasing your self-compassion, strengthening your wellbeing and relationships. I support adults, elders, and adolescents in a mindful and embodied practice, where creating art becomes the foundation to express and explore throughout your healing journey. No previous art-making experience is required. I will not judge or interpret your artwork, instead we will find meaning together. During our initial sessions we will focus on what you want to change, what strengths and resources need to be brought to bear. I incorporate elements of mindfulness and compassion, somatic awareness, positive psychology, and parts work within the practice of art therapy. Creating art in each session can create both a focus and record of the therapeutic process. Reflecting on the creative act or the content can help find your path through in a novel way. I have a particular passion for working with people of diverse gender, sexual, and relationship orientations. I am polyam, kink, and queer affirming. Whoever you are, I aim to make you feel seen, validated, and safe with me. If you’re ready to get started or have any questions, I always offer a 20- minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Adults and Teens 16+

I offer a compassionate, inclusive, and non-judgmental space whereby we can develop a meaningful connection. I seek to help you foster your own insight and self-compassion in a world that can be harsh, fast, and uncaring. As therapy can be an intimidating process where

you may feel vulnerable, it is my primary goal to help you feel comfortable and safe.

I work from a Rogerian person-centred, decolonizing, feminist, and trauma-informed lens that considers your social context, race, class, gender, and systemic realities. The psychotherapeutic modality I use is integrative, drawing from emotion-focused therapy, psychodynamic, narrative, relational cultural, and sensorimotor/somatic. At times I use CBT.

I will follow your pace so that we may work collaboratively to help you foster insight and to help empower you to make positive and lasting changes in your life. I believe that everyone has an important story to tell, and my hope is to be with you along your journey while you find your voice to tell your stories in your own way, and to support you in finding meaning and purpose in them.
