When people ask me, how long have I been working as a psychotherapist or drama therapist, I half-jokingly respond, “my whole life”. I am someone who cares deeply about others, honours and validates the human experience, and holds space no matter the circumstance.

I offer deeply compassionate client-centred 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 (Role theory, Psychodrama, Improv, etc.), and so interweave these modalities to best suit my client’s needs. My therapy approach goes beyond talk therapy, to also be embodied and explorative, interactive, 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. But it is always up to the client as to how creative they want to get!

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a professional actress and somatic therapeutic practitioner for 12 years. I bring my creative skills and extensive knowledge of the human body and nervous system into my practice.

I specialize in working with those experiencing grief and loss, identity challenges, family conflict, and anxiety and depression. I believe greatly in creating a safer space throughout the therapy journey and bring a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive approach into my sessions.

I am truly passionate about disability visibility and rights and about being an ally in every shape and form. I welcome you to come play, express safely, and heal.
