Provider information

Description

Art Therapy and Counselling private practice locate in my expressive arts studio nestled in the forest in the Comox Valley. 

I love to create safe spaces for people to explore their potential through creative expression. Drawing on my 18 years of experience, I am devoted to guiding both individuals and groups on their journeys toward wellness. 

My practice is rooted in a neurodivergent affirming framework that weaves together Nature Based Therapy, IFS, Mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing and Art & Play Therapy for a holistic container to support and transform.

Summary

I believe we all need spaces where we can pause, breathe, and simply be. Spaces where creativity and curiosity open the door to healing and new possibilities.

For nearly two decades, I’ve been honoured to walk alongside people of all ages—children, youth, and adults—as they explore their inner worlds, heal old wounds, and discover new strengths.

In my practice, I draw on nature, mindfulness, body awareness, and playful creativity. I weave together approaches like Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Art and Play Therapy, always with a strength based lens.
