Parent-Child Dyads
Dyad work allows a parent and child to work on attachment needs. Together the parent and child, under guidance of the art therapist will learn to co-regulate and express themselves more effectively.
4.
Play-Based Therapy
Play therapy can help children to address their emotional needs. Play in a therapeutic setting encourages the child to act out feelings and concerns and help resolve them. Play therapy can be used with any age group of child to support their mental health.
My Approach
My therapeutic approach is humanistic and client-centred. I work with each individual or family to build goals and develop a treatment plan. I incorporate art materials and art activities into my sessions in order to assist with the therapeutic process.
I work frequently with individuals with Autism, anxiety, trauma and grief.
Art therapy can address any therapeutic goals such as increased insight, emotional expression and regulation, better attachment between caregivers and children, management of symptoms such as stress, as well as increased executive functioning.
