I’m an art therapy intern currently taking on new clients. My approach is relational and human-centred: I believe the relationship between us, your relationship with the creative process and the art itself, is at the heart of this work.

I bring a trauma-informed lens to this work, along with lived experience of marginalization as a queer, mixed-heritage person of colour. I have experience supporting clients with challenges relating to addiction, recovery, identity, 2SLGBTQIA+ and help them to understand healing as nonlinear, ongoing, and deeply human.

I hold space for whatever comes up as you create, without judgment or pressure toward a particular outcome. The pace is yours and I meet you where you’re at.

Art therapy, for me, is a gentle container for growth and healing, and I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

Sometimes you don’t have the words, or the cognitive capacity to express how you feel. Perhaps you’re desiring to feel a sense of connection with yourself, your loved ones, your work and the earth again. If you’re seeking an experiential approach, you may be interested in the integration of somatic, arts, naturebased, mindfulness and relational approaches, to support stress reduction, increase embodied capacity, clarity and resilience.

Caitlyn supports adults navigating stress and burnout, the transition to parenthood, parenting, life transitions, financial stress and emotional overwhelm. She understands how life stressors can take a toll on your emotional, physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing, leaving you feeling disconnected, exhausted and dysregulated.

She has a special interest in working with mothers and parents, as a parent herself who she has experienced the biological- neurological-psychological-social-spiritual-economic-ecological transformation, and the ever-evolving transition into motherhood (Matrescence).

Her sessions include embodied inquiry, personal expression and present-moment awareness, aiming to promote a greater sense of ease, agency and empowerment.

I am a trauma-informed art therapist who believes healing often begins beyond words, in the quiet language of the body and the act of creating.

Art therapy can be especially supportive for those:

-living with trauma and mental health challenges -navigating life transitions -understanding their thoughts and behaviours in relationships -seeking to rediscover their sense of identity.

My practice integrates art-making with mindfulness and somatic practices by inviting clients to notice sensation, breath, and presence as part of the healing process. I gently hold space where experiences can be revealed in their own time. My practice is inclusive and culturally sensitive. I offer an affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients, where all identities and relationship styles are welcomed and respected. I have walked alongside survivors of interpersonal violence, offering a space rooted in safety, choice, and deep respect.

I have supported neurodivergent clients by honoring diverse ways of sensing, communicating, and expressing.

Through creativity, we may discover or renew our resilience, self-compassion, and connection for healing that unfolds at a pace guided by you, the client.

I offer a relational, arts-based space where people can explore experiences that aren’t always easy to put into words. My approach is grounded in connection, curiosity, and making space for what matters most to you. I work in a relational, non-prescriptive way. We shape sessions together and move at your pace, with space to focus on what feels meaningful. Sessions often begin with a brief check-in, followed by creative exploration using simple materials such as drawing, collage, or mixed media. We may spend time reflecting on what emerges, at your comfort level. No art experience is needed, and there is no expectation to know what you’re doing. People arrive for many different reasons, often in the midst of change. This can involve identity shifts, life transitions, emotional strain, stress, burnout, or a desire for greater clarity, connection, or meaning. Together, we can work across a range of experiences, from everyday stress to deeper processes of reorientation and growth. My approach is inclusive and affirming. I have experience working with 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and within the queer community, and I offer a respectful space for all identities. I work with people across a range of experiences, including neurodivergent individuals, and have experience supporting different ways of thinking, feeling, and communicating. I offer a flexible, accessible space that can adapt to different communication styles, including lower verbal or eye contact needs. You’re welcome to book a session to see if this feels like a good fit.
