If you're looking for a space to foster self-discovery, you've come to the right spot!
MY APPROACH TO THERAPY
I believe that everyone has their own inner wisdom to heal and grow. Like a plant reaching roots into the darkness underground and stretching its leaves towards the sun, I envision the healing and growth process as a balance between fostering strength and a vision for what is possible while acknowledging, feeling, and finding ways to cope with challenging emotions and experiences. I'm interested in providing space to grow towards a vision of hope, finding meaning in life's challenges, and sharing resources and strategies to focus on beauty and peace.
Everyone’s healing journey is unique and may need something different at different times, so there are many approaches that I draw upon. I'm interested in incorporating elements of self-compassion, parts work, positive psychology, solution-focused brief therapy, and, of course, the power of visual art. Let's chat and see what a good fit might be for you.

"Organicity says that the client holds the capacity to heal themselves. The therapist’s role is to simply help the client unveil their inner intelligences and tap into their 'higher self.'" -Pat Ogden
Virtual Art Therapy & Psychotherapy
Virtual one-on-one art therapy and psychotherapy sessions can involve just talking or barely any talking at all, depending on your comfort level and needs. Keep in mind that you do NOT need to be an artist to take part in art therapy.
Virtual sessions are currently available to individuals across Ontario. ($140 for a 50 minute session) |

Long-term Care Homes
I facilitate in-person individual art therapy sessions with residents of Hillel Lodge (The Bess and Moe Greenberg Family). Sessions can focus on
- stimulating the brain by exploring various materials and making choices
- physical relaxation by engaging with potentially calming imagery and art-making activities
- processing grief, dealing with transitions, and exploring one's legacy by focusing on personal values and meaning through the art making.
