Her clinical experience includes providing art therapy and psychotherapy to support diverse communities, including indigenous clients and people navigating neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges and life transitions. She approaches cultural connections with respect and curiosity, inviting clients to identify cultural, spiritual, family, and community supports they would like included in their care.
