Art Therapist - Helping others make videos for wellness and creative expression No video skills are required.

I am an art therapist, member of the Canadian Art Therapy Association,
instructor and 2021 graduate of Winnipeg Holistic Expressive Art Therapy (WHEAT) Institute, associate at the Tanis Dick & Associates Art Therapy and Counselling Clinic, and
owner of Deep Focus Art Therapy. Highlights of my work include:
- guiding a young indigenous mother as she found the courage to witness her power and hear h

er voice in creating mindful videos, and
- walking with a young father with brain cancer as he processed his life creating a legacy video for his children. I specialize in video making as art therapy with teens, adults and children who have challenges with anxiety, depression or trauma. I use a creative process with conversation to reveal strengths and bring insight and strategies to resolve problems. I have clients using my therapeutic video making process at CancerCare Manitoba, Ndinawe drop-in centre, Tanis Dick & Associates and Manitoba School Divisions.
