RTC, Professional Art Therapist

Bachelor of Arts in Counselling and Human Services · 2 years experience

My name is Jillian, and I am a Professional Art Therapist offering in-person and virtual art therapy services to children, teens, and adults. With ten years of experience as a youth support worker, I am passionate about neurodiversity-affirming care for all ages. I believe art therapy offers a powerful means of self-expression and connection, enhancing overall well-being. Through the intentional use of various art materials, we can cultivate self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience, helping to manage stress, process grief, and foster self-compassion. Inspired by Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems, I aim to help you re-imagine and redefine your story. Together, we'll transform feelings of shame or overwhelm into curiosity and compassion through creative exploration. My goal is to foster clarity, calm, and self-kindness in our sessions. Reach out to [email protected] with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!
