Therapy for Children, Teens & Adults
Virtual Across Ontario
In-Person in Chatham & Woodstock
The next chapter starts here.
The Sessions
Sessions are available evenings, weekends, holidays or by request.
We can meet virtually (phone or video from anywhere in Ontario), or in-person at the Chatham or Woodstock office.
Between sessions, if it interests you, I could even send you personalized journalling prompts tailored to what we explored together in session.
Talk Therapy
Sometimes just talking is exactly what’s needed. We’ll explore things at your pace — you can share freely, or I can gently guide us. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out before you arrive.
You choose how we work: conversation, expressive arts approaches, or a mix of both. Sessions are yours to shape.
Expressive Arts Therapy
You don’t need any artistic ability for this — it’s not about the end result. Expressive arts therapy uses creative approaches like drawing, collage, and more to help you explore feelings that can be hard to put into words.
For many people, especially those working through trauma, creativity offers a gentle way in. It can be calming, gives feelings somewhere to go, and often opening up new insights along the way.
No art skills required. Stick figures very much welcome.
Who I Work With
Whether you're navigating something from the past or something unfolding right now, or you just feel ready for a change, therapy can give you that space to slow down, explore, and find a pathway forward.
I work with children 8 years and older, youth and teens, and adults.
I offer talk therapy and creative approaches and support a variety of areas including trauma, anxiety, stress & burnout, depression, self-worth, ADHD, emotional regulation, identity, relationships, grief, life transitions, and more.

My approach is client-centred and flexible. Creativity has always been how I make sense of the world and we can incorporate this into sessions for clients who are interested. I'm the founder of a combined talk + creative method called Narrative Comic Strip Therapy® (NCST) that combines storytelling with drawing that many (of all ages) find surprisingly helpful.
