Services

Individual Therapy

As a Registered Expressive Arts Therapist, I provide individual therapy for adolescents and adults by creating a safe space for clients to explore their inner world. I specialize in the following areas: 

Trauma: Sessions structured around a four phase model of trauma work:

  • Understanding one’s inner world
  • Resource building
  • Trauma processing
  • Reframing and reorienting– for a return to an embodied self.

Grief and loss: Sessions focused on processing and navigating one’s relationship to self and others after the loss of a loved one.

Transitions and self narratives: Transitions often bring with them an awareness of our internal dialogues, patterns and can often bring up a need for change. Therapy can then also become a space for moving through stuck patterns and behaviors.

 

Group Therapy

Often the right fit for an individual can be a supportive group space that brings together individuals working towards a shared goal. As part of my mental health support services, I offer specialized groups for adolescents and adults. Please see below for current and upcoming groups:
