Whether through deep conversations, creative therapy, or practical coaching techniques, we'll work towards building a life that truly fits you.
Is this what life was supposed to feel like?
Perhaps you’ve hit the milestones - building your career, nurturing relationships, and keeping a busy social life. From the outside, everything seems fine. But inside, something feels... off. You can’t shake the nagging feeling that life wasn’t supposed to feel this uncertain, this uninspiring, or this overwhelming.
Maybe the job you worked so hard for no longer excites you. Maybe your relationships are shifting, and you’re questioning what’s next. Or perhaps you’re simply wondering if this is all there is: is this it?

My name is Leigh and I am licensed art psychotherapist.
Art making can help you discover parts of your inner self and express them through metaphor, which helps us explore our emotions in a safe space. It is not an art class and you do not need to be "good at art." The focus of art therapy is on the process of making, not the product. I will work with you to put you at ease - no experience necessary!

Life constantly reminds us that we don't know what's coming; we are multifaceted, complex beings and we cannot always face the things we need to, on our own.

If you are asking yourself questions such as why is this happening, how did I get here, why me, what do I do now?, then please reach out to someone who might be able to help.

Creative Therapy Counsellors
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
