Art Therapy for Teens & Adults
Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you're navigating anxiety, stress, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, trauma, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. Art therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, reflect, and explore your experiences in ways that words alone may not capture.
I provide client-centred art therapy for teens and adults in a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe to be yourself. Together, we'll work at your pace, using creative expression alongside conversation to deepen self-awareness, build resilience, and support meaningful change.
No artistic experience is necessary—art therapy is about your process, not a perfect piece of artwork. Every session is tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. I strive to create a space where everyone's experiences are respected and honoured. Drawing from an interdisciplinary arts background and a trauma-informed, socially conscious approach, I recognize the ways our personal experiences are shaped by family, community, culture, and broader social systems. Therapy is collaborative, honouring your lived experience and supporting your voice throughout the process.Whether you're seeking support during a difficult season or looking to better understand yourself, art therapy can provide an opportunity for healing, growth, self-discovery, and renewed connection.
Sessions are $152.00 per session (50 minutes). Book a free consultation here.
The Art Therapy Process
Art therapy offers a unique way of understanding ourselves by engaging both the mind and the creative process. While talking can be incredibly valuable, there are times when words alone don't fully capture what we're feeling. Art-making creates another pathway for expression, allowing thoughts, emotions, memories, and experiences to emerge with ease.
Our minds are constantly processing experiences, even outside of our conscious awareness. Sometimes emotions become buried beneath the demands of everyday life. Through creative expression, these inner experiences can begin to surface in a gentle and meaningful way.
Art therapy allows space for what feels most important in the present moment to emerge. You may arrive wanting to discuss one issue and discover that your artwork brings attention to something unexpected—a feeling, memory, relationship, or strength that is asking to be acknowledged. Often, the creative process reveals themes that are already present within you but haven't yet had the opportunity to be seen or expressed.
The artwork itself becomes part of the therapeutic conversation. Colours, symbols, images, movement, texture, and the creative choices you make can all offer valuable insight into your inner experience. Together, we approach the artwork with curiosity rather than judgment, exploring what it might mean for you without assuming there is one "correct" interpretation. You remain the expert on your own story, while I help facilitate reflection, connection, and understanding.
Indigenous Clients
The impacts of generational trauma can hinder access to culturally grounded mental health supports, identity reclamation, and Indigenous ways of knowing being honoured.
I offer culturally responsive art therapy that recognizes the lasting impacts of colonization, historical and generational trauma, and systemic racism on the well-being of many Indigenous people. My approach honours Indigenous ways of knowing while recognizing that every person's relationship to culture, identity, family, and community is unique.
Because Canada's violent acts against Indigenous people affects Indigenous people's overall wellbeing, sliding scale/pay what you can options are available for Indigenous clients. Please contact for more details.
WHAT IS ART THERAPY?
Art therapy is a combination of psychotherapy and art used to help face and process distress, trauma, or emotions. The goals in art therapy are to facilitate your healing process by providing new insights into your experiences, rediscovering parts of yourself that may have become lost, and to process difficult experiences without the pressure of verbalizing them.
Through your creative process, we co-create to address the underlying thoughts or emotions that come to the surface. Art therapy honours recurring thoughts or emotional needs that are asking to be addressed in the moment.
This process is facilitated with materials chosen to accommodate emotions or feelings, and can be done thorough drawing, painting, sculpture, poetry, collage, mindfulness, or even through creating art with nature. Art therapy can be a profound experience for those who don't feel comfortable talking about their issues, or who are looking for an alternative to talk therapy.
No artistic skills are required—just an openness to explore through art!
The art therapy process is about your personal process, rather than focusing on the final artwork.
