What is expressive art therapy?
“Expressive arts therapy (EXA) is a way of using the arts to help people with a variety of challenges; whether they be psychological, emotional, behavioural, or associated with life traumas, relationships or transitions. EXA assumes that everyone has the capacity to respond creatively to the situations that they find themselves in.” – CREATE Institute

I live on Treaty 6 Territory in Edmonton, Alberta where I grew up. I'm a queer, mixed raced, cat-loving, quilting, nature nerd. I love to work with other people in helping capacities and seek out solitude in nature as often as I can. In my spare time, I enjoy curling up on the couch with a good book and my two cats, Benny and Joon. I can often be found exploring Mill Creek Ravine on foot, or you'll find I'm off in the mountains, going for long walks in solitude. Related credentials: BSW, RSW - Registered Social Worker B.
