Counselling and art therapy for adults.
Art TherapyArt therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative, nonverbal expression as a means of communication. Materials can include pencil crayons, markers, pastels, paint, collage, and clay. Absolutely no artistic training is necessary as the purpose is not evaluative, but rather exploratory. Sometimes it's difficult to find the right words for something and other times we might not be aware of our own inner wisdom. Creative expression can unlock the doors of symbolism and the unconscious mind and help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

CounsellingCounselling is offered through calm, supportive dialogue. I work at your pace, leaving space for you to reflect and respond. I practice an eclectic approach drawing from several modalities depending on your needs and preferences. We can focus on past issues, present concerns, or future dreams. Sometimes clients know exactly what their goals are and others are not sure what brings them in. Either way, you are welcome, your story is valuable, and I'm here to listen.

Further info: Counselling and art therapy can easily be integrated or clients may choose to focus on one. Case notes are written after each session and client files are kept for a period of seven years, after which time they are confidentially destroyed. Counselling services are provided with clients' consent, but clients may cancel services or request a referral at any time. In the Yukon, youth who understand the purpose, nature, and risks involved in entering a counselling relationship are able to provide their own consent to service.

Fees*:
Sessions are $140 including GST per clinical hour (50 minutes) and payment is required at the time of each session. I currently accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, e-transfer and cash, and I will issue a receipt for each payment. Some third-party billing options and employee assistance plans (EAPs) are also available. Alternatively, a portion of counselling services is often covered by extended benefits, but it's important for clients to contact their provider in advance to determine coverage as this varies between plans.
