Creative Healing for Mind, Body & Spirit
Art grants us tools to help make the internal, external when words may not be enough.
What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy combines psychotherapy with the creative process, offering a unique way to explore and express your thoughts and feelings. By working with imagery, colour, and shape, it helps access emotions and experiences that can be difficult to put into words, creating a deeper understanding of yourself.
Art therapists are master’s-level trained clinicians, skilled in both psychotherapy and the visual arts. They create a safe and supportive space for self-discovery, growth, and healing.
Art therapy focuses on the process of creating rather than the finished product. The act of making art can reduce stress, foster insight, and help navigate challenges like trauma, anxiety, or life transitions. It’s not about talent—it’s about using creativity as a tool for reflection, resilience, and personal growth.
Clinical vs Non-Clinical Art Therapy
I offer both clinical and non-clinical art therapy services.
Clinical art therapy is mental health treatment. I work 1:1 with people wanting to process emotions, heal, and address their mental health goals through art. I have experience with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, as well as other personality and mood disorders. All of my individual art therapy sessions are clinical art therapy.
Non-Clinical Art Therapy is more flexible, casual and community-based. I offer non-clinical art therapy services through Groups & Workshops. These sessions invite space for people to create art together and share experiences in a supportive group. These can be accessed from anywhere in the world!
How Does Art Therapy Work?
Art has a unique way of accessing parts of the brain that aren’t tied to language, allowing us to bypass the limits of what we consciously know. Through creating art, we can tap into deeper layers of thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. This can help us revisit the past to uncover more empowering stories, gain clarity about our present, and even imagine and move toward a more fulfilling future.
Art therapy can be especially helpful for those recovering from trauma, feeling stuck or at a crossroads, or struggling with negative thought patterns and emotions. The artwork you create becomes a tangible representation of your inner world—something you can explore, reflect on, and return to. It serves as both a guide and a source of inspiration for continued growth and healing.
Is Art Therapy Right for Me?
Art therapy is a supportive and creative way to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences—especially when words alone aren’t enough. Through the guided art-making process, you can find clarity, express yourself, and work toward greater well-being.
Whether you’re looking to navigate mental health challenges or embark on a journey of self-discovery, art therapy offers a unique space to grow emotionally, mentally, and even spiritually. It’s not about artistic skill or perfection—it’s about using creativity as a tool to better understand and care for yourself.
