I was born and raised in Waterloo and feel a strong connection to this community. My interest in art therapy comes from a genuine desire to give back and support individuals and families through difficult and uncertain times.

Before beginning my training, I worked as a makeup artist in both retail and freelance settings. That work taught me how to build trust quickly, listen closely, and create spaces where people feel comfortable being themselves.

In recent years, I transitioned into working within the school system, supporting students across a wide range of ages, abilities, and learning needs. This experience has deepened my understanding of how differently people process the world around them, and how important it is to meet each person with flexibility, patience, and care. It has also reinforced how meaningful it can be to offer consistent support, especially during times when things may feel overwhelming or uncertain.
Becoming a mother has further shaped how I view this work. It has strengthened my belief in the importance of community, connection, and creating spaces where people feel supported, not alone.

My approach is warm, honest, and non-judgmental. You don’t need to have any artistic experience to benefit from art therapy only a willingness to explore. Sessions are guided by your needs and can offer a way to process emotions, reduce stress, and make sense of difficult experiences. I also bring a sense of humour into the space when it feels appropriate, as it can support healing and emotional expression.

My goal is to provide a supportive, creative space where you can show up as you are and move at your own pace.
