About me
Art-making has always been vital to my own well-being, so art therapy felt like a natural fit.
I completed my training at the Toronto Art Therapy Institute (TATI), receiving their Gilda Grossman Research Award. I'm a registered psychotherapist (qualifying), and am working toward full registration this fall.
Research consistently shows the biggest factor in whether therapy helps is the relationship between the therapist and the client. I aim to facilitate a space where you can cry, laugh, ramble, make weird art, and not have to perform.
While every insurer is different, my art psychotherapy services are typically eligible to be claimed through insurance plans that cover psychotherapy.

A particular area of focus for me is eco art therapy and climate aware therapy.
Eco art therapy integrates natural and sustainable materials into the artmaking process, supporting individuals in exploring their relationship to the natural world and to one another.
Climate aware therapy acknowledges that the climate crisis impacts well-being. It aims to be a supportive space to process climate emotions, strengthen connection and accountability to nature, and build resilience.
I am a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America, have contributed research on supporting individuals experiencing climate crisis-related distress, and am a recipient of Toronto Art Therapy Institute (TATI)’s Gilda Grossman award recognizing contributions toward social action and transformation through art therapy. I am an instructor and course developer for TATI’s Eco Art Therapy course.
