Office updates

COVID-19 update

Rising numbers of COVID-19 cases this fall mean that in addition to being fully vaccinated, I’ll be taking the following precautions in my office:

  • Masks are required in the common areas of the building and are recommended in my office space
  • If your child is comfortable wearing a mask they are encouraged to do so  
  • I clean surfaces and any shared art supplies between client sessions
  • My office space has an air purifier with a HEPA filter  

Thank you to everyone who is comfortable wearing a mask during sessions. If this is a concern, please give me a call to discuss how we might be able to accommodate your needs.

Welcome to the new space

After more than a year of outreach and online sessions, I’m looking forward to seeing clients at 107-2366 Avenue C North for in-person sessions. What a wonderful feeling to see the supplies and tools I packed away months ago…sand tray and figures, puppets, odd bits of metal, felt, wood, clay, paint and more! Call or email if you’d like to take a look and discuss how art therapy might be helpful for you or someone you know.

Video sessions

To deliver video art therapy to your desktop, tablet, or phone, I use the secure NousTalk app.

Ready to try it? You can choose a video session when you book online or call me to make an appointment. You don’t need special art supplies for your session, anything you have on hand will work: highlighter, pen, pencil, crayon, printer paper, napkin, glue stick, recycled packaging, magazines for collage images. You can also check out a dollar store for inexpensive supplies.

Here are a few tips for your video session:

  • Create a private space for your session where you can speak without being overheard or interrupted. If the session is for your child, make sure they are in a location where they know no one can hear the session and there will be no interruptions or distractions from other people or pets.
  • Headphones improve your privacy and minimize background noise and interruptions. ​​
  • Video conferencing works best on Google Chrome as your internet browser.
  • Share any concerns about video therapy with me before or after your session so we can make you as comfortable as possible.
  • If you’re distracted by seeing yourself on the screen or monitor, stick a post-it note on the window that shows your image.
