Art Therapy in Vancouver, BC
I weave art therapy together with approaches such as parts work, memory reconsolidation, attachment and relational neuroscience, mindfulness, somatic attunement, and play therapy, combining them in a way that honours your or your child's unique history and needs.
If you’ve tried to talk your way through healing and still feel stuck, you may need a different approach. I work with women and children experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, and overwhelm — often rooted in trauma, chronic illness, neurodivergence, and life transitions. My approach recognizes how these experiences shape your nervous system and sense of self, and how they show up in daily life, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. I integrate talk therapy with creative and experiential approaches that engage the body and senses, offering ways to explore your inner world when words aren’t comfortable, accessible, or enough.

I began working as a Counsellor and Art Therapist in 1993.
Is your life feeling out of balance, or are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed or anxious? You may have grown up in a neglectful or high conflict home, have a really stressful job or relationship, or feel lonely. Perhaps you've started to feel numb, or had panic attacks, or the stress is building up inside you? If you feel stuck in patterns and it's getting in the way of your relationships or your work life, and if you want to learn and practice ways to feel more resilient, more true to yourself, and to self-regulate, I can help.

Diving under the surface is one of the bravest things you can do. Sometimes you sit down to deal with a problem and have no idea where to start. You might feel stuck, disconnected, or maybe you are simply seeking guidance while you wade through something difficult. That's where I come in. I strive to create an environment where you aren't mean to yourself. I want to inspire conversations that are grounded in self-acceptance so that you can gain awareness and develop new perspectives.

Hello and welcome I approach my work as a counsellor and art therapist with the philosophy that every human being is the expert in their own life, and holds an innate capacity and wisdom for healing.
Many emotions, thoughts, and memories are stored in parts of our brain that are not accessible through language. Art therapy offers a voice to these inner experiences and an avenue to connect more deeply with the self and others. Art therapy is also effective for trauma recovery because it helps us reclaim safety, connection and grounding within our bodies.

I use a trauma-informed, client-centered approach that integrates Accelerated Resolution Therapy ( ART), narrative therapy, and psychodynamic and humanistic approaches.
You may feel overwhelmed, burned out, or deeply self-critical, especially if you were late-diagnosed with ADHD or are exploring neurodivergence. Many clients I work with are tired of masking, pushing through, and feeling like they’re falling short in a world that doesn’t accommodate how their brain works. Therapy offers a supportive space to better understand yourself, develop self-compassion, and create strategies that feel sustainable and aligned.
