Merry Christmas and Peace in the New Year

Merry Christmas and Peace in the New Year.

Hope. Joy. Peace. These are words of the season. At Pine River, their motto is: "Hope is a Place." It is an important message in our lives today, with so many depressing outlooks - countries in war, climate change, birth defects, impersonalizing each other. Hope is what keeps us going. Knowing there is something more powerful and brighter ahead.

Then We have peace. for the world. for each other. in our own hearts. May you be at peace.

And lastly JOY. Joy to you. Joy that brings delight to your heart and makes the light shine in you. Joy.

Blessings. Deb

I would like to believe that Winter is coming. It is pretty warm out there. Very few snowflakes.

Services

As a professional art therapist, and registered psychotherapist, I provide therapy services.

I use art therapy to support the expression of beliefs, emotions and experiences which are difficult to verbalize, using different art methods. These methods include paint, pastels, clay, movement, dance, drumming and more.

Using an eclectic approach, focusing on the client's goals, needs, and utilizing a supportive relationship, I integrate art therapy, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution focused therapy, and sensorimotor psychotherapy.

I use art as therapy especially through the process of Zentangle. Zentangle is a fun activity - that costs little in money but reaps great rewards with peace, inspiration and calmness.
