FACILITATION
APPROACH
I use a resource-oriented and an empowerment-based approach. My experiential workshops include visual art, poetry, journaling, art journaling, music, movement and arts play. The experience of creativity and art making in group settings inspires empowerment, resilience, and validation.
EXPERIENCE
I have over 10 years of experience as an arts facilitator and 20 years as a social worker. I am used to working in challenging group dynamics and solution-focused practices. I have studied Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Expressive Arts Therapy.
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
I work closely with social service, community service, non-profit and arts-based organizations to develop and deliver arts-based programs and initiatives for the communities they serve.
I offer dynamic workshops and presentations on burnout, communication skills, emotional regulation, grief, mental health, pacing, pain management, selfcare, self-compassion and teambuilding.
I FOUND I COULD SAY THINGS WITH COLOR AND SHAPES THAT I COULDN’T SAY ANY OTHER WAY―THINGS I HAD NO WORDS FOR
