Unlock your creative potential, transform emotional pain into wisdom and medicine, and reclaim the unique creative and conscious expression, truth and power of you with Expressive Arts Therapy!
Do you sense that there’s more to life than this?
Have you lost your spark, your sense of aliveness, playfulness and joy?
Do you feel jaded and uninspired?
Is your inner critic keeping you from living a vibrant life?
Are you finding yourself being over run by your triggers?
Do you feel misaligned with your soul’s purpose, like you’ve lost your way? Or perhaps you don’t know what that is?
Have you spent so much time shape shifting to please others that you’ve lost the essence of you?
Have you lost your connection to your inner voice of wisdom?
Do you feel anxious at the state of the world, want to be part of the solution but don’t know how?
Do you find yourself wondering whether you even matter in the grander scheme of things?
If you resonate with any of these, let me help you remember the truth:
You matter.
There is more to life than the day-to-day grind.
You are more wise, creative and powerful than you think.
You can create a vibrant and authentic life for yourself.
And the unique and full expression of you is needed on Earth now.
There is within you a wellspring of creative energy and deep wisdom that longs to be reclaimed, expressed, seen, heard and known.
The good news is: You hold the keys to your own liberation.
I’m here to help you find the keys that will unlock the doors to your courageous self-expression, to your wisdom, your sense of aliveness, and your unique genius and purpose!
You don’t need to walk this path alone.
This is an invitation to reclaim your creative potential, your ability to imagine your self, your life and the world in a new light, and reclaim your ability to speak, express and stand in your truth with confidence.
It is my honour and privilege to offer sacred space for you to find your own keys, and to share with you a collection of some of the most effective tools, resources and practices that I have discovered over the course of my journey to healing, greater freedom and aliveness. My deepest desire is to offer these to you to guide you back to your freedom, creativity, gifts, joy and sense of aliveness.
Through the powerful medicine of Expressive Arts Therapy, at the intersection between imagination, creativity and play, I will gently guide you – at your own pace – into a place where you can safely reconnect with your Self and parts of Self that might have been lost along your life journey, and through this reconnection, gain greater understanding of your Self and the world so that you can start to safely explore the edges of “what else is possible”.
You don’t need to be an artist to experience powerful and life-changing transformation and growth through this work.
Reconnecting with your wellspring of creativity and wisdom will open you to a world of possibilities you were not aware existed.
Our work together will open you to more self understanding, aliveness, joy, emotional resilience and inner peace.
It’s time to shine the unique expression of you into the world, and you’re ready.
What is Expressive Arts Therapy?
Expressive Arts Therapy (EXAT) is a dynamic, experiential approach that bridges the somatic and imaginative realms. By engaging with the arts and play, we access a world of imagination where new possibilities and pathways of permission emerge—options we might not have previously recognized. In this creative space, hidden resources and unforeseen solutions can surface, inviting clarity and transformation.
The somatic aspect of EXAT taps into the body’s innate wisdom. It provides opportunities for release, fosters a sense of safety, and helps guide the pace and regulation of the therapeutic process. The body becomes a compass, offering cues that deepen self-awareness and healing.
In EXAT, we work with a wide range of modalities—poetry, storytelling, psychodrama, play, movement, painting, drawing, sound, voice, photography, collage, clay, and other flexible mediums. The choice of medium is always tailored to the individual’s needs and the moment’s relevance.
The focus in expressive arts therapy is on process rather than product. There is no right or wrong way to engage. Instead, it’s an invitation to show up as you are, in the truth of your present moment, and explore what it means to be human within a welcoming, creative space.
I use an intuitive client-centred approach following the clients’ emotional, cognitive, somatic and nervous system cues.
My Practice is Guided by Core Principles, including:
Nonviolence and a reverence for all life.
The belief that all living beings possess an innate capacity for healing when nurtured in a safe and supportive environment.
Facilitating change and accessing inner wisdom through gentle and mindful awareness rather than effort.
Embracing mind-body-emotion-spirit holism.
Recognizing the interconnectedness of all living beings.
Trusting in the creative potential within everyone to respond to life’s challenges.
What Does One-on-One Sessions With me Look Like:
I offer 60 or 90-minute sessions where you are held in a safe and sacred container and guided through gentle invitations to help you access deeper states of knowing to transform emotional pain into medicine, reveal and harvest your own wellspring of inner wisdom, and build inner strength and resilience.
My approach is based on a deep understanding of the neurobiology of trauma (trauma-informed), and as such it is informed by polyvagal-theory, it is body-centred (somatic), healing-centred and person-centred.
Your boundaries will be honoured, always.
Many of us have experienced enough the disempowering giving of our agency to others, of not trusting our own knowing. I want you to reclaim your agency and power, your boundaries and inner knowing of what is right and not right for you.
In our time together my intention is for you to become the one in charge, discovering and increasingly following your own inner voice.
I’m here to walk with you, support you, and cheer you on until your nervous system recognizes safety, your mind recognizes the truth and you are ready to let you fly of your own volition.
You are not alone.
