I have a studio-based practice in Greendale (Chilliwack) BC and also offer sessions online, in clients' homes, or in a private studio space in East Vancouver. I work with children and adults. My person-centred approach to therapy is influenced by attachment theory, systems theory, and over 20 years of experience working with people who have diverse and exceptional needs.
After 10 years of teaching art in elementary and high schools, I made the shift to offer adapted art classes as a service provider to families who school from home. I completed a post-grad diploma program in art therapy to better support the families I work with.
My training in sensorimotor approaches to therapy will help you learn about how the body remembers and responds to events, both past and present. I also use nature-based therapy to support the themes of belonging and identity. I am able to work in a low-demand and non-directive way, or to provide directives if that approach is preferred.
In a session I will use a combination of therapeutic modalities and art-making materials to help you learn more about yourself and to assist you in finding ways to move through the circumstances that brought you to seek out art therapy services. We will work together to ensure that you feel safe and are supported throughout the process.
