Art is one of the most powerful forms of expression. I’m sharing a few of my drawings as a reminder that we all have important parts within us. Parts that deserve presence, compassion, and understanding.

Drawing has been one of the most healing and freeing forms of expression for me.
Sometimes words aren’t enough, and through art I’ve found ways to reconnect with myself and release what the body has been holding.

Whether I’m supporting a child or an adult, I often explore ways to gently release tension and trauma stored in the body. We often label certain emotions or parts of ourselves as “bad,” pushing them deep down where they remain unheard. Through art and expressive therapy, the mind and body can begin to acknowledge these parts and re-narrate the stories they carry.

Art is incredibly empowering, it creates space for all our parts helps build safety, self-compassion, and a deeper sense of control.

Disclaimer: Art and expressive therapies can be deeply healing, and they should always be explored safely and with professional guidance. Please consult a qualified therapist before trying therapeutic techniques on your own.

I love this reminder!

Children don’t grow when they’re shamed or punished. They grow when they feel safe, understood, and connected.

✨ Discipline is not about control, it’s about guidance.
✨ Time outs, yelling, and shaming teach disconnection.
✨ Curiosity, empathy, and support teach problem-solving and resilience.

Every behavior is communication. When we pause to ask why a child is acting out, we discover the need underneath and we can respond with compassion instead of reactivity.

Let’s raise problem solvers, not children afraid of mistakes. 💫

Learn more about how to use compassionate discipline vs punishment by booking a session with me.

I love using the Inside Out characters with children and teens. Sometimes it’s hard to label feelings, and at times, we can feel stuck. Inside Out has taught so many children about different emotions and how they show up.

Sometimes emotions get suppressed because of mixed messages about what is considered “right” or “wrong” but really, there’s no right or wrong way to feel. A common emotion people suppress is anger, often because of external messages like “anger is not good” or because it’s seen as something negative.

I teach kiddos and teens that all feelings are okay and safe to express in the playroom. What doesn’t get expressed gets suppressed! Learning how to feel and express emotions at a young age builds a healthy foundation for years to come.

I like to say: We need to feel it to heal it!

Children often speak through their behaviour—because developmentally, they don’t yet have the words to express complex feelings like sadness, worry, or overwhelm. Instead, they show us through actions and reactions. Here are some signs that your child may be asking for help:

🌼 Big emotions that feel hard to manage – like intense anger, sadness, or anxiety that shows up often or feels bigger than expected for the situation.

🌼 Frequent meltdowns or outbursts – recurring emotional outbursts that seem to come out of “nowhere”, especially when routines shift or limits are set.

🌼 Withdrawing from friends or family – becoming quiet, isolating, or avoiding connection, even with people they usually enjoy.

🌼 Struggling at school – difficulty focusing, dropping grades, challenges with peers, or conflict with teachers or classmates.

🌼 Refusing school or activities – saying they’re “sick” often, becoming anxious before school or extracurriculars, or refusing to participate.

🌼 Changes in sleep or eating patterns – sleeping more or less than usual, nightmares, sudden picky eating, or loss of appetite.

🌼 Low self-esteem or negative self-talk – saying things like “nobody likes me,” or “I can’t do anything right.”

🌼 Ongoing worries or fears – excessive anxiety, constant “what if” thoughts, or clinging behaviors that don’t go away with reassurance.

When a child is overwhelmed, confused, or hurting, these behaviours can be a way of reaching out for support.

This list isn’t exhaustive, but it can be a starting point to better understand what your child may be communicating. If your child is showing some of these signs, it may be time to connect with a counsellor who can help them feel safe, seen, and supported—while also giving you tools to navigate this journey together.
