Being a psychotherapist to me means collaborating, being with and acting as a guide for my clients. I love the phrase from my training, “We [therapists] are experts in the process but the client is the expert in themselves”. I take this to heart and practice from a wholistic, compassionate, strength-based, nonpathologizing and trauma-informed perspective.

I am a registered psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and professional art therapist with the Canadian Art Therapy Association. I completed a Master’s of Counselling: Art Therapy Specialization from Athabasca University, in collaboration with the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute. I am an approved EMDR therapist and IFS therapist (level 1).
