Therapies Offered
Individual Psychotherapy
Individual Psychotherapy is a regular one on one meeting. This can be once or twice a week and last anywhere between a couple of months to several years.
As an experienced psychotherapist, I’ve developed an approach that gives you the space to explore what’s happening in your life, on your own terms. This affords us the unique opportunity to explore what’s on your mind using a variety of flexible, insight-driven frameworks.
The most important aspect of any session for me is to create a safe, non-judgemental environment to explore any themes that are popping up for you. Whether you’re dealing with issues of identity, relationships, grief or are dealing with past-trauma.
Art Psychotherapy
For those interested in using creative processes in their therapy, I’ve found art and expression can be vehicles for a transformative therapeutic experience. Artistic skill is unnecessary, the process of creating/meaning-making is more important than end product.
Using Art allows us to deepen into a subconscious space, be playful and connect on a non-verbal level. The art is used as a tool to communicate and explore your current experience.
Adolescents
Art therapy sessions for adolescents are regular weekly one on one sessions, where through the relationship with the art and therapist, the client can explore the challenges he or she is facing.
For teenagers discussing their feelings and thoughts can be very frightening and threatening and art therapy allows them to explore these issues in an indirect non-threatening way. The art allows them to go beyond words, tapping into their most authentic self. Teenagers naturally communicate in symbols and art therapy is a way to break the barrier and really connect.
