I am a graduate of the Expressive Arts Therapy Program at the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute and hold a Master of Education in Educational Practice. My path has woven together more than 22 years as a classroom teacher with my work as an expressive arts therapist, guiding people of all ages toward creativity, connection, and emotional well-being.
In our work together, we might explore storytelling, poetry, movement, collage, sandplay, visual art, or writing. The expressive arts invite us to listen to the wisdom of the imagination and the body. Through play, symbols, and creative exploration, we can discover new ways of understanding our stories and nurturing resilience.
I believe the creative process holds moments of wonder—where curiosity, playfulness, and deep reflection meet. My intention is to create a space where people feel held, soothed, and empowered to explore their inner landscapes with gentleness and courage.
I am passionate about honouring diversity, representation, and the many cultural stories that shape who we are. I also offer Sandplay Therapy, a powerful and often joyful process that allows people to explore their inner worlds through symbols and miniature figures.
When meaningful to clients, I welcome the use of personally significant ceremony—such as honouring ancestors or connecting with the earth—as part of the healing journey.
I have also facilitated workshops for educators and those in caring professions, helping them rekindle creativity, restore balance, and reconnect with the joy that brought them to their work.
At heart, I see therapy as a creative journey—one where imagination, play, and art can help us honour our stories, nurture resilience, and rediscover the magic of being human.
If these words resonate with you, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.
