I'm a professional canadian art therapist passionate about making creativity feel accessible, playful, and deeply meaningful. Whether you're brand new to art, a lifelong maker, or just curious about the process—I’m here to guide you in exploring expressive, modern art therapy techniques that meet you exactly where you are.
Through therapeutic art-making, we’ll reconnect with your inner voice, unlock creative freedom, and gently peel back the layers to reveal more of your authentic self - in your art and therefore in your life too!
Art therapy changed my life.
Let’s discover how it can support yours.


Let's talk about
the magic of Art Therapy
Art therapy is more than just making art—it’s a transformative process that allows emotions to flow, thoughts to take shape, and stress to dissolve in ways words often can’t reach.
When we create, something shifts.
The act of moving paint across a page, doodling freely, or simply engaging with colour and form activates a part of us that knows how to process, release, and restore balance. It’s not about making something perfect—it’s about making something that feels true.
Through guided art therapy, we can step away from the noise of daily life and into a space of exploration, connection, and renewal. Whether it's easing stress, unlocking creativity, or fostering deeper self-awareness, the process works—
because it meets us exactly where we are.

Art therapy taps into an unspoken language.
Art speaks in a language beyond words. When we put brush to canvas, scribble on paper, or move our hands through clay, we begin to express what’s difficult to say out loud. Shapes, colors, and textures hold emotion—grief, stress, excitement, or uncertainty—all emerging in a way that feels safe, natural, and deeply cathartic.
Through this process, we’re able to externalize emotions, process what’s heavy, and find clarity—without needing to explain every feeling. A single stroke of color can symbolize relief, a torn collage can represent transformation, and an abstract design can uncover hidden insights.
This is the quiet magic of art therapy:
a space for what needs to be seen, felt, and released.
No pressure, no perfection.
Just the simple act of creating, letting go, and walking away lighter.
JUST THE SIMPLE ACT OF CREATING, LETTING GO, AND WALKING AWAY LIGHTER.
