for women online

a non-clinical approach for those who are ready to meet themselves

I'm ready

You feel like you don’t know who are you anymore. Life is moving fast, things are constantly changing and you can’t catch up to the new version of you. You look around and all your surroundings have changed, the people, the environment and everything else. You want to move forward but don’t even know where to go. You constantly ask yourself: What do I like? What do I value? What are my dreams? Who am I? You are yearning to understand more of who you are AND connect to your creativity.

The greatest and most important adventure in life is discovering who we really are. With Art Therapy, I’ll guide you through therapeutic art-making so that you come home to yourself, build confidence, go towards your dreams and develop greater trust for your life.

helping you navigate not knowing you are through art therapy

hi creative soul!

I’m Erica.

I’m an Artist, Art Therapist and a Nurturer of the Creative Spirit. I specialize in working with women who have disconnected from their creativity and want to dive deep into knowing who they are. Through therapeutic art making, I’ll help you reunite with your true self and your creativity so that you can live a life more aligned to your truest desires.

Work with me

My therapeutic style

My approach to Art Therapy is non-clinical, meaning it is not a mental health treatment. I don’t diagnose you or work within the '“medical model” system. I am focused more on using the creative practice as a form of well-being and tool for self-care. My approach is intuitive and client centred. I integrate my teachings from Art Therapy school, art school with my meditation and spiritual practices. A typical session is a blend of deep discussion, breathing techniques, art making prompts (with or without music) and oracle cards or poetry. Each session is unique, just like you.

testimonials

  • “I like that I always feel safe and that it's a non-judgemental space to express myself. I enjoy how introspective it can be and how I have the freedom to go as deep as I want to. I appreciate the conversations after to discuss meaning, symbols, insights from what I create and I really feel your love and care as you help to nurture me back to connecting with my true self. The reason I trust her and feel safe to be vulnerable is because she is someone who lives and breathes her work and what she believes and that speaks volumes. She is always striving to not only share the work she is here to do, but she does the hard work required to embody everything she believes within herself first and I have so much respect for that”

  • “I really loved the way Erica set the tone for the session, giving us clear direction. She played a piece of music while we started drawing and it resonated deeply with me. After, I felt emotionally lighter. I would easily recommend her to my friends because she has a very gentle approach that makes it easy to feel comfortable and safe to express feelings. I'm deeply grateful for the chance to work with Erica. Her approach to art therapy is thoughtful and genuine.”

  • “I felt calm, whole, and happy after the session I was ready and excited to process my emotions with art and excited to keep pursuing the future I desire! She has a calm demeanor, analytical mind, and asks insightful questions that have a gravitational pull. I would recommend Erica to anyone, especially those needing some peace in their lives and in their hearts. “

  • “I struggled with my own confidence, self doubt, decision making and motivation. I figured the best way to take action and calm any doubts was to practice some art therapy for myself. After the session, I felt calm, reenergized and centered. I liked that meditation, music, art and conversation was all integrated into a session. The meditation usually centered me, the music and art helped bring up emotions and conversation helped me process those emotions. I would definitely recommend Erica to others in my life because I loved my sessions. I looked forward to our sessions every week because of how great I felt during and after. I would love for others to feel that way. Also, my art, although at first glance looked simple and childish, brought up a lot of feelings that would have probably taken years in normal talk therapy. In the end I would say that after just a few sessions I gained a bit more confidence and understanding of myself, allowing myself to just be without judgement. I’m very grateful for our sessions!”

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • Absolutely no experience is necessary. Art Therapy is for anyone and everyone who is wanting to use creativity as a form of healing and self-discovery. I work with clients who haven’t picked up a paintbrush in over 20 years to people who are professional artists. All you need is an open heart and mind.

  • Anything you have on hand! I don’t think it is necessary for you to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on art supplies (unless you want to!). I want to make it accessible for everyone, so if you have some paper and some pencil crayons then we’re good to go! If you want to invest in some art materials, I am happy to recommend a list.

  • No, this is not an art class by any means. I will not be teaching you how to draw or paint in a technical sense. In Art Therapy, it is not about the final product and more about how you feel during the process. I will hold space for you to create freely without judgement.

  • It really depends on you. I see some clients once a week, one every two weeks or even once a month. Tune into what your needs are and we can find a frequency that feels best to you.

  • No. I don’t analyze your artwork, I believe YOU have all the answers you need. I guide you and ask you questions that will help you uncover your true self.

    • $125 USD/60 minute session.

    • $720 USD for 6 sessions ($120 per session)
