Psychotherapeutic Modalities & Training
I integrate ideas from both Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Narrative Therapy into my art therapy practice.
- IFS methods help you connect with different parts of yourself to understand and shift protective patterns, process trauma, and build greater compassion for yourself and others.
- Narrative Therapy methods explore the stories you carry about yourself and your life. They examine how relationships, culture, and systems have shaped these narratives, and help you re-author them in ways that honour your strengths, values, and hopes.
- Sensorimotor Art Therapy engages the body and brain through embodied, creative methods such as bilateral drawing. These practices can support nervous system regulation, increase awareness of bodily and emotional experiences, and open pathways for deeper healing and integration.
Art therapy interwoven with these approaches, can foster greater self-compassion and more empowered relationships with the world around you.
