About
I walk alongside
I believe in every individual's capacity for self-healing, and acknowledge that each person is in the best position to be the expert on themselves.
I practice in a way that respects where a person is at; together we explore strengths, challenges and goals. Individualized support aims to increase awareness and understanding of emotions, to build confidence, capacity, and self-compassion; the process supports well-being and improved communication. As a counsellor and art therapist, I offer knowledge in a number of mental health and wellness areas. I walk alongside, attend to strengths, offer opportunities for perspective and growth, and most importantly, I listen.
In my years of practice I have worked with children, youth, adults and families living with a range of concerns, including early developmental impacts of trauma. I have supported individuals of all ages as they explore their experiences and navigate their way through challenges. I aim to hear and appreciate the context in which each person lives, and the resiliencies and challenges that contribute to the lived experience.

About me
Early in my life I discovered my passion for art, and have grown to see the transformative power of using art to express thoughts and feelings. I also learned of the grounding that comes in connecting with the natural world. My own practice in mindfulness and self-reflection has helped to give light to the layers of complexity in being human.
​
I believe that my greatest gifts to offer are genuineness, and a spirit of compassion, curiosity, humour, and wonder. I know a little of what it is to struggle with the stressors and challenges of life.
Having another person with whom to sit in that place of discomfort is quite a gift. Sometimes that support can come in the form of family and friends. Occasionally someone from outside may be vital...
A therapist can provide a unique, compassionate perspective to hold a space for you to 'be'... and in being, to transform.
​
Within the therapeutic relationship, individuals can develop new insights, identify and work towards goals, and create a healthy connection with themselves and with others.
