Details

I am an art therapist new to the Okanagan area of BC focusing on adolescent and adult mental health and trauma recovery. I am trained in psychodynamic art therapy and take an integrative approach drawing on attachment based and trauma informed practices, emphasizing the therapeutic relationship and communication.

My practice involves using images and art making as non-verbal inter- and intra-personal communication to facilitate expression and sensory integration. My practice is influenced by a variety of cognitive and somatic approaches, including: embodiment and mindfulness practices, polyvagal therapy, internal family systems and somatic experiencing.
