Founder & Clinical Director

Founder & Creator of Narrative Comic Strip Therapy® (NCST)

I see you as a whole person … your physical, emotional, psychological, and social worlds all matter here. My practice is grounded in a core truth (narrative therapy): you are not your problems. The painful stories we carry aren't permanent, and with the right support, they can be rewritten.

Talk therapy forces us to use logic to explain our pain, but our deepest stressors don't always live in the language part of the brain. To bridge this gap, I can guide clients through intentional, structured creative exercises.

How we work together:

  • Holistic Alignment: Honouring the systems and life experiences that shaped you.

  • Structured Creativity: Using specific drawing and expressive arts prompts to access hidden insights.

  • Emotional Externalization: Moving heavy emotions out of your body and parking them safely on a page.

There is no pressure to be "good at art." These structured processes bypass the logical brain to bring forward deep healing that traditional talk therapy may miss.
