I have long had a deep curiosity and fascination with art, communication and psychology, a passion which has led me to art psychotherapy. I continue professional development and research in complex trauma, neurodiversity, body psychology, and the arts.

 

As an educator, my goal is to facilitate learning experiences that deepen the understanding of creative and artistic processes in human health. I recently had the opportunity to teach the therapeutic arts practitioner certificate program (TAPPs) at the Canadian International Institute for Art Therapy. Currently, I am excited to be designing an online workshop series that delves into the themes of self, identity and belonging. A project I aim to launch towards the end of 2023. 

 

As an artist and creative, I've collaborated, produced, and consulted independently on diverse projects in the arts sector for more than 20 years. I've also performed on stage, photographed internationally, and won awards for video poetry. I ran a creative agency in Montreal before moving to Mexico in 2008 where I co-founded a local community arts center. As creative and artistic director for ten years, I enjoyed designing and directing numerous national and international art education programs. 

 

On a personal note, my home is Mexico. I keep memories of a family farm, a view of Lake Nakuru, and a certain Montreal café close. Solitude and nature are my peace in the world, my son is my greatest teacher, I savour the morning sun, walk to think, find stillness in music, and have a lot of books to read.
