Individual Sessions – Expressive Arts Therapy

What is Expressive Arts Therapy?

Expressive Arts Therapy (ExAT) is an integrative and purposeful approach that uses art making, movement, music, poetry, storytelling, drama, and other creative arts to activate transformation, healing, and resolution. This therapy is client-led and relational, focusing on sensory and somatic awareness, attunement, connection, and resourcing through the arts to foster meaningful change.


About Me

Trauma & Nervous System Informed

As a trauma and nervous system informed student therapist, I integrate this awareness and specialized training into every expressive arts session I facilitate. I am dedicated to providing a safe, supportive space where you can feel safe enough to arrive as you are—body, mind, and spirit. Within this environment, you are invited to open and explore, create, make, move, and dance freely, at your own pace. My approach is gentle, compassionate, and attuned to your unique needs and experiences.

 

Insurance Coverage

NB: My training at The CREATE Institute and Expressive Arts Therapy is recognized my the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario (CRPO) and can be billed through most insurance companies after I have graduated in the Spring of 2026 and have met the requirement of the CRPO.
