About
I am trained as an art therapist with specific interest in somatic approaches, which means I believe that healing is rooted in the body and in our creative selves.
In my practice, I take a feminist, social justice, trauma informed perspective, focused on compassion, harm reduction and the cultivation of joy. I particularly welcome people living with addictions or in recovery, BIPOC, sex workers, folks exploring their sexual or gender identity, and people living with anxiety.
I will work with you to create a safe, nurturing space to learn and heal. In my practice, I centre the making of art as a place to begin; I also value the role of verbal and body-centred processing and our sessions may include all these approaches.
In my personal life, I love making art with textiles, paint and collage. I am co-parent to a tween, a teen and a middle aged dog, and an auntie to many in my extended network. I am biracial - of German/Canadian and Indian/South African heritage - queer, able bodied and cisgendered. I am a second and third generation settler, located on the unceded traditional and ancestral land of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
I am fully vaccinated and will wear a mask for in-person sessions. I do not require that you wear a mask, but you are welcome to.
