What's My Approach to Therapy?
As a licensed mental health counsellor (LMHC) and art therapist with nearly 10 years of clinical experience, I aim to provide a space where people feel supported and empowered to explore behaviours, perception, emotional needs, and day-to-day stressors through the use of verbal and creative processes.
I specialize in both talk and art therapy to help pre-teens, adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, emotional dysregulation, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is collaborative and encouraging, designed to let you take the lead to encourage healing. I'm passionate about building a strong therapeutic relationship with you, as I believe this is one of the most fundamental parts of healing and therapeutic growth.
My Approach to Care
Working together, you can expect a warm and supportive environment that uses customized talk therapy and creative arts techniques to help explore patterns, build insight, gently challenge thoughts, and empower you to make meaningful changes.
I believe in active, person-centered collaboration and building a strong therapeutic relationship, which allows me to be the supportive partner you need to heal. I look forward to working alongside you and providing ongoing support, collaboration, and encouragement in our work together.
A Journey into Exceptional Patient Care
My path to becoming a therapist started with community work in high school. Multiple groups I was part of gave me the chance to provide several types of one-on-one services for students. Later, I was able to integrate creative arts into those services and witnessed how doing so can foster a space for creative self-expression and further healing for all ages.
This experience deepened my commitment to providing creative and therapeutic services, which now allows me to truly meet people where they are with an adjustable and open-minded approach.
Personal Interests
When I’m not in the office, I love being out and about. Going for long walks, attending sporting events, heading out to try new restaurants and foods, traveling, playing board games, and spending time with my family and friends. A creative at heart, I also enjoy making my own art, especially pottery, while listening to audiobooks as an added plus!
