We Grow and Learn together

 I'm a professional Art and Music therapist and a Social Worker. I completed my art therapy Training with the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute and my music therapy training with Atelier de Musicotherpie de Bordeaux. I'm a registered therapeutic counsellor (RTC) with ACCT and am working on becoming a registered Art therapist.  

I have been working in the mental health sector for over a decade now. Over these years, I have gained extensive experience and knowledge in helping those who have been through complex traumas. Specifically, my focus has been on helping individuals who have lived through or survived wars, conflict zones and natural disasters. I have had the privilege of working with individuals across all age groups, from children to adults and seniors from different cultures, nationalities and backgrounds. 

Through my years of experience, I have gained a profound understanding of the distinct challenges that individuals who have undergone traumatic experiences face. Moreover, I have had the opportunity to witness firsthand the positive effects of artistic expression in the process of healing from such experiences. I have honed my skills to provide personalized care to each individual by developing tailored treatment plans based on their specific needs. My primary goal is to help each person I work with regain a sense of control over their lives, restore their self-confidence, and empower them to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

As humans, we are born with a natural inclination towards creative expression. Creative Arts therapy can help us reconnect with ourselves and our inherent creativity. It provides a gentle way to explore who we are, discover any parts of ourselves that we have split off, and work through any "frozen" or "stuck" parts that have arisen as a result of trauma.

I will be honoured to be part of your healing journey. If this is something you'd like to do together… I can listen, witness, guide, and create with you. We can explore tools and processes to support your movement into and through it all. I will be in it with you, collaborating.
