Believe it or not, in the same way that you learned how to read or ride a bike, you CAN learn to navigate uncertainty and coast through the emotional ups and downs that come with the times in your life when you do not know where to go or what to do. I believe that creativity can be the sustaining and supportive fire that fuels your life. Listening, breathing, embodied learning, and making, are the four principles which have guided my practice over the last 15 years. Changing longstanding habits or patterns takes time, commitment, motivation, and consistency, many approaches are needed. Caring for yourself is fundamental to life.
As an art therapist and registered psychotherapist with 15 years of clinical work in diverse settings combining eastern and western philosophy. My practice is a blend of somatic (body) psychotherapy, traditional talk therapy, breathwork/meditation and ART. I currently run online groups and therapeutic weekend retreats at the SEED lodge north of Toronto.
I had one person say to me: “If I begin therapy, I will have to continue for my whole life”. To that I answer: “Yes indeed you might. What therapy will develop in you are skills of asking and grappling with the good and difficult questions that, if you live well, life will surely bring. This, as far as I know... is a life's work.
