"When words feel hard, we can start somewhere else..."
I offer a space where things don't have to be clear right away, and you don't need the "right" words. We begin with what is present - whether that's a feeling, a pause, an image, or something still taking form.
My Approach
"Sometimes we talk. Sometimes we create. Sometimes we simply notice what's there."
My work has taken shape across different spaces: sitting with university students navigating change, supporting older adults through loss and memory, working with families and couples, and accompanying individuals carrying complex, often unspoken experiences.
In therapy, I offer a space where things don't have to be clear right away, and you don't need the "right" words. We begin with what is present — whether that's a feeling, a pause, an image, or something still taking form.
Art therapy can help hold what feels difficult to say or allow you to see something from a new angle. It's not about making something beautiful or finished, but about letting something take shape in its own time.
My approach is person-centered, grounded in care, collaboration, and respect for your pace. I attend to how experiences live not only in words, but also in the body, memory, and those spaces that feel harder to reach. Together, we work in ways that feel manageable and attuned to you.
What I Offer
A way to explore your thoughts and emotions beyond words. Through simple creative processes, we can gently discover what's been coming up in a different way.
A space to talk, reflect, and better understand your thoughts, emotions, and experiences — especially during times that feel overwhelming or difficult to navigate alone.
Support for individuals navigating relationship dynamics within families or partnerships — communication challenges, emotional disconnection, and patterns in relationships.
About
I am a Registered Art Therapist (RCAT) with the Canadian Art Therapy Association and a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).
I completed my undergraduate studies in Psychology at the University of British Columbia and trained in Art Therapy at the Toronto Art Therapy Institute.
With over six years of experience supporting diverse populations — including university students, older adults, couples, and individuals navigating mental health challenges — my work has taken place in hospitals, senior care homes, private practice, and community settings, including the Dr. Peter Centre and North York General Hospital.
I have a lifelong connection to the arts, beginning with Chinese painting in childhood and exploring woodwork, sculpture, and digital art. I have also studied piano since the age of five. These creative experiences deeply shape my work in both art therapy and psychotherapy.
