A Playful Approach to Counselling
Healing through connection, creativity, and play.
Sometimes "just talking about it" isn't enough, and our bodies need to process and heal through movement and creative expression! I integrate Drama Therapy and Play Therapy techniques into my counselling practice for clients of all ages. I'll meet you where you're at with empathy, curiosity, and playful creativity. My therapeutic approach is person-centred, 2SLGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed, and somatic.
I offer in person and virtual playful counselling sessions for adolescents (14+) and adults (18+) and in-person only play-based therapy sessions for children (3+)
Walk & Talk Therapy by the Sea
Playful healing in motion, grounded by nature.
The ocean has a way of inviting us to breathe a little deeper and soften into the present moment. During Walk & Talk Therapy, we'll explore what's on your mind while walking by the sea, allowing movement, fresh air, and the natural rhythms of the coast to support the healing process. Sometimes a change of scenery opens the door to new perspectives.
I currently offer walk & talk therapy for adults (18+) in two locations: Crystal Crescent Beach in Sambro, and Point Pleasant Park in Halifax.

Frequently Asked Questions
A few things you might be wondering...
Drama Therapy is a unique form of Psychotherapy that integrates drama, theatre and improve techniques for a more creative, somatic and holistic approach.
Playful Counselling is what I call my integrative therapeutic approach which combines drama therapy and play therapy traditional counselling and psychotherapy. I incorporate more creativity, collarboation and playful, embodied, and somatic interventions than "regular talk therapy."
Walk and Talk therapy is counselling therapy that happens outside in nature rather than indoors. My walk and talk therapy sessions will also integrate creative arts therapies interventions, drama therapy core processes, and playful healing techniques.
Absolutely not, at the beginning, but I believe that if we are good and fit and work together over time we will discover and heal some of your playful parts that you might not even know or remember right now.
I work with clients of all ages and identities who come to me with a wide range of concerns including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal relationship challenges, shame, loss, identity exploration, and a general desire to heal and grow through all different hard life things.
We'll talk about it because this is so important! Research consistently shows that a strong therapeutic relationship is the greatest predictor of positive outcomes in therapy!
I am very open about my identiy and policital views, and I believe that self discloures can help neutralize power dynamics. You are always welcome to ask me questions too. My approach is anti-oppressive and collaborative.
I'll encourage you to check in with your body and we will monitor your resistance and discomfort together. Therapy might feel uncomfortable sometimes, that does not necessarily mean we are a bad fit. Gradually expanding your window of tolerance may be a collaborative goal, but the process and the pace should feel manageable. You need to feel safe enough to open up, heal and transform.
