Hello, and welcome...

  

I’m Maiya, a Certified Expressive Arts Therapist

and a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor. 

​

My approach is compassionate,

curious, resourcing, arts-based 

and informed by my particular constellation of interests

and experiences in the field of psychotherapy. 

 

I'm dedicated to helping folks navigate liminal

(in-between) spaces of not knowing.

Sometimes this looks like stuck-ness,

or feeling at a standstill...

experiencing grief, overwhelm, depression or anxiety.

It may look like navigating your identity and growth

+/or sometimes...

​

it just feels like a shifting

​

I'm here to help.

I consider my role to be a  'bridge keeper'.

I stand with you at the in-between to help find your direction(s)

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 slow down, we listen in,

we explore.

"Keep some room in your heart

for the unimaginable"


-Mary Oliver

Expressive Arts Therapy invites creative expression — like visual arts, movement, creative writing, drama, or ritual — into the therapeutic process.

It blends these expressive forms with relational and somatic approaches to support healing, insight, and growth. You don’t need to be “an artist” — just willing to be curious.

Sessions are available:
• In-person at my downtown office
• Online
• Outdoors (see below for Nature-Based sessions)

Nature Based Expressive Arts Therapy: 

​

Draws from the therapeutic benefits of BOTH the arts and relationship with the natural world ,

in an integrated way, that supports individual and collective deepening and grounding.

Reach out about nature based sessions!

 

"Nature based experiences fill a reservoir within us that we can later draw from

when faced with life's challenges"
