Hello, I’m Jess. I believe you don’t have to carry a heavy heart alone.

I’m a Professional Art Therapist (CATA), Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying, CRPO), and Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (ACCT) based in Vancouver, BC, offering online art therapy services for adults across Canada.

I work primarily with caregivers, including parent caregivers, and anyone navigating grief, chronic sorrow, loss, or life’s heavier seasons. As the primary caregiver to my non-speaking son with high support needs, I understand that caring for others can be deeply meaningful while also overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting.

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and client-centred. Together, we’ll use conversation and artmaking to help you better understand yourself, regulate your nervous system, process difficult emotions, and reconnect with your strengths, creativity, and hope. You don’t need any artistic experience to benefit from art therapy—only a willingness to be curious.

My work is informed by Positive Psychology (PERMA), Polyvagal Theory, Sensorimotor Art Therapy, attachment theory, metaphor theory, and strengths-based approaches. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen, accepted, and supported to explore at your own pace.

If you’re wondering whether art therapy is right for you, I’d be happy to meet with you for a complimentary consultation to answer your questions. I look forward to connecting with you.
