Creative Roots
Owner/Director


Description: As an expressive arts therapist, facilitator and/or educator I open a space for creative exploration, growth and reflection. Always meeting people where they are at, I work organically with each person or group. I see myself as a guide that leads people towards a deeper understanding and expression of their essence. My work is interdisciplinary reflecting various areas of study and global travel. Whether working with children or adults I believe in engaging the power of play as a way of cultivating self-discovery and greater health!

Credentials: M.A , TCPP dipl.
Additional Training: 
  • Masters degree in Expressive Arts Therapy
  • Graduate of the Toronto Child Psychoanalytic Program
  • Therapeutic Clown Practitioner 

Population served: I work with people of all ages who are interested in personal growth and self-exploration, eating disorders, anxiety, anger, divorce, ADHD, autistic spectrum disorder, children in hospitals with short term or chronic illness, First Nations and elderly populations.  

Areas of expertise & experience: A large part of my experience is with children, adolescents and parents. My expertise within expressive arts therapy is movement or exploring body-mind relationship and the performing arts (specifically the practice of therapeutic clowning).

Arts practice: Dance/Movement, Clown, Writing, Creating Ritual, and Making Music.
Qualified for supervision: Yes
