Drama Movement Play

The process of looking inward can be challenging, but fortunately, you don't have to go through this process alone. Counselling provides a safe, supportive environment for growth, self-compassion and transformation. Clients report benefits because of the emotional support they receive and the value a new perspective brings. They can open up to new patterns and new ways of being in the world.
I also work with families and act as a liaison with teachers, administrators and professionals.
Assessments
I provide educational assessments to children, adolescents and adults to help determine if they have any learning, emotional or behavioral disabilities. It is my intention to assist their progress at school and work.
Psycho-educational testing is a process which uses standardized tests and questionnaires to identify strengths and weaknesses across many areas. We look at cognitive development, academic achievement, adaptive functioning, visual perception, motor coordination, visual-motor integration, behaviours and emotions.
Groups
Self Esteem & Body Image: Beauty From Within
Knowing that strength can be crafted, built and designed, I offer workshops for young women called Beauty From Within. Because of my own experiences with self-esteem, body image and healing, I want to create a space where young women can build self-worth, engage in meaningful relationships and understand how to make healthy life choices.
Beauty From Within is a program for young women ages 12-16 that explores topics such as self esteem, compassion, identity, body image, communication, emotional expression and regulation, friendships, problem-solving, staying active, nutrition and self-care.
Through a variety of expressive art mediums coupled with mindfulness activities, Beauty From Within is designed to explore the clear link between self-esteem and body image. This transformative exploration can include journaling, drama, theatre, play, puppetry, videos, art, photography, music and dance.
Please stay tuned for our next group.
