Are you looking for a creative approach to your own or your child's healing? Art therapy is about gently tuning into the creative process in a safe, supportive space. It allows you to explore and express your thoughts and feelings, both with and without words, opening doors to reflection, insight, and self-discovery. My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive. I draw on mindfulness, compassionate inquiry, motivational interviewing, somatic methods, psychoeducation, and DBT for a holistic, personal path to growth and healing.

Using imagery, colour and shape as part of personal exploration, thoughts and feelings can be expressed that would otherwise be difficult to articulate and process. Art Therapy can be beneficial for all ages and for a variety of personal challenges including anxiety, depression, interpersonal difficulties, trauma, and more. No Artistic experience necessary!

Relationship, trust and authenticity are essential components of any therapeutic alliance, and thus I aim to create an environment for my clients which is safe, comfortable, honest and non-judgmental. If you are curious and/or interested, I invite you to give me a call for a free consultation to discuss options. I look forward to hearing from you.
