Creative Paths Counselling & Art Therapy

Creative Paths Counselling & Art Therapy Sometimes we need a witness in life - a caring person who walks alongside us on our life journey.

I hail from a maternal line of Eastern European refugees and was born and raised in Aotearoa New Zealand in a bicultural family. I am a nature-lover and have a passion for artistic expression, music, dance, history, languages, travelling and learning about culture. All my life I have worked in highly diverse cultural settings and am privileged and honoured to be able to connect with, witness and walk alongside my fellow humans who are seeking growth, support and guidance. I am a settler and humble guest here in Canada and wish to acknowledge the destructive impact of colonization on the first peoples of Turtle Island. I also wish to recognize the collective and individual strength, resilience and courage that it takes to fight and resist colonization and the ongoing state, structural and interpersonal violence and racism in this country.

Excited to deliver an experiential workshop tomorrow on arts-based psychedelic integration!!!! 🍄 the therapeutic nature of art-making and creative expression in helping make sense of profound psychedelic journeys/altered states/mystical experiences for healing, awareness, change and growth 🍄

Makes sense to me :)

New study finds that clients value therapists who are engaged—not just listening passively—but activity doesn’t mean giving advice or homework.

My practice

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” ~ Anais Nin

My counselling and art therapy practice is located in both Vancouver and on the Sunshine Coast in Gibsons, BC. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Art Therapist with a wide range of experience in supporting children, youth, and adults in a culturally sensitive fashion. I encourage you to meet with me to discuss your, or your child’s, needs and to see if my way of working and being are a good fit. I believe that we all have ways of knowing that are intellectual, spiritual, emotional, intuitive and sensory. Tapping into those ways sometimes needs guidance along with space, time, a safe place and permission. I hope to help you blossom into your true self and live consistently with your values by exploring thoughts, feelings, ideas, interpretations, values and beliefs.

You are a whole person with emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual aspects. And all these aspects are interconnected. My therapeutic approach with you will be founded on a strong collaborative alliance that will allow you to feel safe and cared for. I promise to listen non-judgmentally, explore creative solutions, challenge you, ask the right questions, and offer a fresh alternative perspective. We will decide together the most suitable path for your healing, wellness, and transformation.
