What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses creative processes, such as painting, drawing, and other forms of artistic expression, to help individuals explore their emotions, improve mental health, and work through psychological challenges. It combines principles of psychology with the creative process, allowing clients to communicate feelings that may be difficult to articulate through words.
​
By engaging in art-making, individuals can gain insight into their thoughts and emotions, foster self-discovery, and promote healing in a safe and supportive environment. Art therapy is effective for people of all ages and can be beneficial for issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges.

Who I Work With
Individuals
Individual therapy provides a safe space to explore
emotions, manage anxiety, stress, depression, or
trauma, and build self-esteem and resilience. We
focus on self-care, emotional regulation, and
navigating life transitions such as parenthood,
menopause, or aging. Therapy helps you process challenges, regain balance, and cultivate self compassion, empowering you to live with clarity,
confidence, and authenticity.
Couples
Couples and family therapy strengthens
communication, rebuilds trust, and fosters
understanding. We work on conflict resolution,
attachment, and navigating life transitions such as
parenthood or changing family dynamics. Therapy
helps partners and families reconnect, express
emotions with empathy, and develop stronger
bonds. The focus is on creating supportive,
respectful, and fulfilling relationships, helping
everyone feel heard, valued, and emotionally
connected.
Children & Young Adults
Therapy helps children and teens understand and
express emotions, manage behaviour, and build
coping skills. We address attachment issues, self-esteem, anxiety, and social pressures while
supporting healthy development. Parents and
caregivers are included to strengthen relationships
and create a nurturing environment. Through
therapy, young clients develop emotional resilience,
confidence, and communication skills that support
well-being at home, school, and beyond.
New Beginnings
We welcome all individuals, including those with
prior involvement in the justice system. Every
person has the capacity for growth and positive
change, and we approach each client with empathy,
respect, and understanding, regardless of their past.
Our goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental
space where clients feel seen and heard, allowing
them to explore challenges, build resilience, and
move forward with confidence and hope for the
future.
