For Professionals

Are you a healthcare provider or represent an agency with clients who may benefit from art therapy services or therapeutic art workshops? Let's chat to discover how we can collaborate.

In practice for over 20 years, I am a graduate of the Toronto Art Therapy Institute, As a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Art Therapist I have worked with individuals of all ages across a variety of settings including private practice, children’s mental health, long-term care and addiction and mental healthcare. ​

My training focused on psychodynamic theory which I use during therapy to help individuals understand how their feelings and emotions might be connected to their early experiences. And I incorporate elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to help individuals understand and change thought and behaviour patterns that aren’t working for them.

​Although I am experienced in treating a range of issues, as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, my specialization is helping individuals understand and learn to manage anxiety.

​I will help you understand your triggers, thought patterns and behaviours and we will work together to find effective coping strategies. I may at times gently challenge you (e.g. to think about things in a different way and be open to new ideas) but I will do so with empathy and only when the timing feels right and you are ready.

​My therapeutic style is conversational, open-minded, compassionate, honest, flexible, easy-going, and very patient. Via the combination of art and verbal psychotherapy, my intention is to create an environment where you feel comfortable, safe, heard, and accepted. My approach is person-centred, adapting to your unique needs, personality, strengths, resources and level of comfort.
