Wry is a creative arts therapist, artist, and community member living in Tiohtà:ke. Wry received their masters degree in drama therapy at Concordia University in 2020. Wry has done theatre since they were young and know intimately that having the space to play, create, and connect, can help to heal and process personal, cultural, and intergenerational trauma.
Wry has experience working with non-neurotypical, queer, BIPOC, and low income populations. They have worked with individuals ranging from 4-60, and with both groups and individuals. In their therapy work they are informed by play therapy, self-revelatory theatre and performance, internal family systems/parts work, and the wide range of tools and perspectives encapsulated under Drama Therapy. Wry believes that the greatest gift they can give in therapy is their particular presence and practice therapy as a co-healing experience where they offer tools, guidance, and companionship in an individual’s journey towards themselves. They are currently working with Kanien’kehá:ka youth in the Kahnawà:ke schools.

In terms of identity Wry is a non-neurotypical (ADHD) therapist living with type 1 Diabetes and Crohn’s disease. They are of Polish and Syrian Jewish descent. They are Non-Binary/Transgender. They offer these identity markers in case a client is looking for a therapist with an embodied understanding of non-neurotypical realities, Illness/disability, Queerness, and a complex dynamic/history with white supremacy. They intend to offer a space where the understanding of intersectional realities is present, and centre humility in this venture.
