I use an arts based approach to psychotherapy, grounded in somatic

(body-based/bottom up approach) practice.

I support adults and youth with:

* Connection to and exploration of strengths and resources

* Developing + expanding creative aliveness and possibility

* Deepening relational experience, with self and others

* Finding new ways of relating to, processing, and experiencing

challenges and difficulties, such as: depression, anxiety, grief,

burn-out, overwhelm and personal and collective trauma

OOH and by the way...There is absolutely no previous experience or skill with the arts needed.

My office in the heart of downtown Penticton

Here, we step into a different way of being in our lives.

We listen in new ways, we learn to hold curiosity for what is and for what might be.

We get messy, we slow down, and we explore.

I utilize Hakomi (a gentle yet powerful experiential psychotherapy that uses

mindfulness and somatic interventions to heal attachment wounds

and developmental trauma) and parts work, alongside arts based therapeutic approaches,

to meet each client where they are in order to provide a

non-judgemental space with witnessing, caring

and helpful, responsive resource building.

About Expressive Arts Therapy:

Expressive Arts Therapists offer sessions that integrate creative expression

(for example; visual arts, creative writing, drama, creative ritual,

dance/ movement) with relational and somatic therapeutic approaches

as containers for personal inquiry, discovery, healing and growth.

My goal is to offer balance and grounding, fullness and levity...

as well as a deepening into the psyche/soul.

I offer a free 15 minute consultation in person, over the phone, or online,

depending on your personal preference.

for youth, find more info here.
