You're likely trying to deal with some type of crisis or trauma - something that was too much, too soon, or too fast for you nervous system to handle. Trauma isn't always the result of a car crash, a typhoon, or a war zone. The reasons for trauma are diverse: divorce, surgery, illness, childhood injury, death of a loved one, a major medical diagnosis. At the very least, trauma results in a decreased ability to feel satisfaction, or emotional or physical pleasure. It's effects are surprisingly enduring. Now your ready to get help to address it.

Hi, I'm Alison (she/her). I'm a cis-gender white queer woman. I am a Wholeness Activist. This means that we will explore being present with what is, rather than focussing on something that needs to be fixed. To our work I bring 20 years of experience as a singer, voice and Alexander Technique teacher, and Wholeness in Motion practitioner, so I appreciate the wisdom of your being.

It can be difficult taking time to identify and process the challenges we collectively experience in our fast-paced “go go go” society. Taking a pause and being curious about ourselves is the first step in this journey. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration and non-judgment. I strive to cultivate a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions, feel seen and heard. I work primarily within a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness based framework to address various challenges, help individuals achieve their goals, and live more fulfilling lives.

Being a human in this world is fucking HARD. From the many pressures and stressors of surviving under capitalism, living with the impacts of traumatic experiences and systemic oppression, balancing social and familial expectations and norms with your own needs and hopes, and navigating identity and relationships; all of these things exert significant pressures on our bodies and minds. If you are struggling, you are not alone. I know that being asked to "think more positively" about painful experiences isn't helpful for many and can be profoundly invalidating so I won't do that! What I will do is provide a space to process your pain.

I'm here to accompany you as you navigate through life and support all individuals and families as they face changes or challenges; let's humanize living, the good, the bad, the doubts, the uncertainties, the transitions, and everything in between. Reaching out for help can be scary and overwhelming, however I can help you understand where you’re at, validate the emotions you’re feeling and support you with practical tools. I aim to provide an open and trusting environment where you will find a safe space to freely express yourself, while providing support through evidence-based interventions.

Navigating life’s various fluctuations and the challenges that arise can be difficult to do so on your own. As such, I strive to support those of you seeking self-attunement, and who are looking to build up skills so that you may be able to address issues contributing to your emotional and relational distress. I firmly believe in centering clients' experiences and the power of empathy, open-mindedness, and collaboration as integral to therapy. I aim to create an encouraging therapeutic space where you can explore your own unique path to personal awareness, growth, and healing as determined by you.

I don’t have an ideal client and I believe that Art Therapy should be as common as getting out for a walk or engaging in any form of self care. From low level stress to chronic mental health issues, Art therapy can play an integral role in ongoing therapy and life enhancement.
