I am an Art Therapist who is passionate about helping adults navigate complex issues using the creative process. I offer individual and group Art Therapy sessions for those who are seeking mental health support that differs from talk therapy. Using a person centred and strength based approach, I strive to create a safe space where clients can reconnect to dormant parts of themselves and find meaning and joy through art making. I have practiced art therapy with diverse populations in a wide range of settings such as; inpatient mental health settings, outpatient oncology, long term care homes, and weekend holistic retreats.
I specialize in Art Therapy for trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness into everyday life. Sessions are offered online or home visits are available (Antigonish/Guysborough county). In addition to art, sessions may include a blend of talk therapy, journalling, nature walks & foraging for art materials.
Is "talking about it" only getting you so far on your healing journey? Are you curious if Art Therapy could be a fit for you? Please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation!
