Sometimes words are not the only way we make sense of experience. I approach therapy from an expressive arts, trauma-informed, relational lens offering a  collaborative space for curiosity, steadiness and creative exploration at a pace that feels grounded, and honours where you are, especially when things feel difficult to name or hold in words.

In my work as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and Expressive Arts Therapist, I integrate verbal therapy with embodied and creative approaches, including movement, visual art, writing, music, sound and imagination. These modalities are not about performance or outcome, but about offering you different ways to express, connect, and make meaning through process.

My work is shaped by over 20 years of experience as a dance artist and movement educator, as well as ongoing engagement with the creative process. I hold a BFA in Dance and a Diploma in Expressive Arts Therapy from The CREATE Institute. These experiences inform my integrative approach, supporting an understanding of the arts as a language of expression and the body as a source of knowledge, memory and lived experience.

In addition to private practice, I work within hospice and community healthcare settings as part of interdisciplinary clinical teams, where I provide individual therapy, facilitate groups, and support practicum training and mentorship. This work continues to deepen my understanding of complex care, grief, and life-limiting illness, alongside the many ways people find meaning, connection, and possibility in these experiences. I have worked across diverse contexts, including with people experiencing homelessness, addiction, HIV/AIDS, and significant health-related change, as well as supporting post-stroke clients through adaptive movement and creative expression responsive to physical and cognitive shifts.

I have a particular interest in working with artists, dancers, and other creative practitioners. As both a therapist and artist, I understand that creative work is often deeply intertwined with identity, purpose, and wellbeing. Whether you are experiencing creative blocks, burnout, questions of sustainability, or a sense of disconnection from your practice, therapy can offer a space to reconnect with your creative life.

Together, we can explore what is emerging and attend to your experience with curiosity and care.
