I have space for rent in my counselling studio! I am an art therapist, so it’s a creative space, but there’s also room for talk therapy and/or body work. There are two days available - choosing from Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday. Evenings are also possible. $200/month for each day. Includes internet, waiting room, cleaning, and tea station (plus awesome colleagues you’ll never see 😉). DM me :-)

As an an art therapist, I believe that healing is rooted in our creative selves.

Now, more than ever, I believe we need to spend time creating with our hands, connecting with each other, and building resilience in our communities.

I take a feminist, social justice, trauma informed perspective, focused on compassion, harm reduction and the cultivation of joy. I particularly welcome people living with addictions or in recovery, BIPOC, s*x workers, folks exploring their s*xual or gender identity, and people living with anxiety. In my practice, I centre the making of art as a place to begin; I also value the role of verbal and body-centred processing and our sessions may include all these approaches.

I will work with you to create a safe, nurturing space to learn and heal.

“While they are certainly uncomfortable, it’s important to know that intrusive thoughts don’t mean you actually want to or will do the things you are thinking about. In fact, they are usually very much at odds with who you really are - and it’s actually because you are so focused on getting rid of them that they stick around!

Somatic art therapy can provide some new approaches to managing your intrusive thoughts. The following ideas combine creativity, mindfulness and a somatic (body-focused) approach to help you manage your unwanted thoughts….”

New post on working with intrusive thoughts using art and body. Please share with anyone who might find it useful! (Link in bio)

Trying out a new group, in the hopes of putting something good out there in the world.

No art experience necessary. By donation. Just come and play in community with others.

I believe it’s important to provide clear information about fees for therapy, to reduce stress and barriers wherever possible. For individuals, standard pricing for sessions with me start at $120. For two people attending together, standard pricing starts at $150. Sessions are 60 minutes or 90 minutes. I also reserve sliding scale spaces on my client list. These range from $60 to $100 for a 60 minute session. My services are covered by some insurance companies, though not all. Please reach out to find out if yours is on the list!

If cost is preventing you from accessing therapy, or you have other questions, please get in touch to learn more. Email in bio.

Today I’m thinking about family - bio and chosen. I’m thinking about the people who care for me, check in on me, have fun with me, come to me with their worries, share laughter with me. Those who have stood with me over time and through big hard things. Those who I show up for. It matters where we come from, but blood is not the prerequisite for family. I'm curious...what does family mean to you?
