Treatment Approach
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
Approach Description: I provide a calm, non-judgemental space using art making and conversation to explore solutions to problems. I integrate a number of approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy.

I use art-making alongside thoughtful conversation to explore challenging experiences, uncover strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change. You don’t need art skills because the process is the motivating focus. Art can help express things that are hard to put into words. Through images, symbols, stories, and the senses, new ways are opened up for you to understand and work through difficult feelings. I find digital art mediums like video making to be powerful experiences in therapy.
I have supported private and organizational clients in Manitoba through private referrals, Child and Family Services agencies, CancerCare Manitoba, Ndinawe temporary youth shelter, Manitoba school divisions, Correctional Services Canada, and the Canadian Mental Health Association (Manitoba).
I offer a variety of creative mediums in therapy including storytelling, photography, drawing, clay, painting, collage, and I specializes in video making as therapy. Art encourages individuals to express their voices, discuss their challenges and reframe their stories in motivating ways.
