My approach
Therapy at the pace
of your experience.
Conversation, attention to what you feel, and room for creative exploration. A collaborative way of working, shaped around you.
In Toronto and online across Ontario.
There is more than one way into a conversation.
Understanding matters.
So does what you feel.
You might understand a pattern clearly and still find it difficult to respond differently. There is room for that here.
Conversation is the foundation of my work. Alongside it, we can notice emotions, bodily sensations and the patterns that emerge between us. The aim is to find ways of exploring that feel useful and manageable for you.
Expressive and art-informed work
You don’t need
to be good at art.
Creative exploration is another way to notice and express what can be difficult to put into words. It isn’t about technique, talent or making something “good”.
An image. A metaphor.
A shape, an imagined scene or a familiar image can offer a different starting point for talking about a complicated feeling.
A colour. A few lines.
Simple visual materials or mark-making can give us something to reflect on together. There is no right way to do it.
A phrase. A sound.
Reflective writing, rhythm or sound may offer another language for an experience, when that feels relevant and comfortable.
Always optional. Always a choice.
You can choose conversation-only therapy. We discuss any creative activity together, and you can decline, pause or change direction at any time.
How we work
Several perspectives.
One collaborative process.
I draw on different therapeutic perspectives rather than asking every person to follow the same formula. Your goals, preferences and feedback help guide the work.
Careful attention to safety
We can notice how stress and difficult experiences show up in the present, including in emotions, breathing and tension. You do not have to share more than you want to, and we can slow down whenever needed.
Room for your way of being
For people navigating ADHD, we can explore attention, everyday demands and the shame that sometimes builds around them. For those who identify as highly sensitive, we can make room for energy, boundaries and the effects of overwhelm.
Curiosity about patterns
We may look at recurring themes in relationships, self-talk and creative life. We approach them with curiosity about how they developed and what you might want to experience differently.
Finding the right fit
If this sounds
familiar…
You don’t need a particular diagnosis, a creative identity or a polished explanation to begin.
- You spend a lot of time thinking about feelings, but find it harder to stay with them.
- You want structure when it helps, with flexibility when it doesn’t.
- You would like to understand your sensitivity or attention without being reduced to a label.
- You make creative work, and want space for its uncertainty, pressure and meaning.

In the room
We make room.
We pay attention.
We adjust.
Some sessions may be practical and focused on everyday challenges. Others may be quieter and more reflective. We check in about what is helping, what feels difficult and what needs to change.
You bring your lived experience. I bring clinical training, curiosity and a steady presence.
Let’s see how
it feels to talk.
A free first conversation is a chance to ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.
