1.

Art Therapy

Art therapy combines counselling with various art materials and directives in order to help each person achieve their therapeutic goals.  It can assist with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, emotional regulation, and life changes. Art therapy is suitable for all ages and abilities.

Counselling

Individual counselling is a talk-based approach that helps you realize your therapeutic goals through discussion.  Talking through issues can help you to develop greater insight, learn coping skills, and make positive changes in your life.

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

I specialize in art and play based therapy for kids and teens with ASD, ADHD, ODD, anxiety, depression, and behavioural issues .  I use a client-centred approach to address therapeutic goals such as increased insight, emotional expression/ regulation, better attachment between caregivers and children, management of symptoms such as stress, as well as increased executive functioning.
