I am an Art Therapist, graduating from Concordia University’s Creative Arts Therapies graduate program and have done further Play Therapy training through Canadian Association for Play Therapy.

Through my work and training I have had the privilege to witness the power of the creative mind to make meaning and navigate life. I always look forward to building working relationships with clients through this creative process where we can ask new questions together.
