Hi, I’m Joanne! I’m a certified art therapist offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life transitions, both in Toronto, and online across Ontario and BC.

​Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, past trauma, or life transitions - with a warm, client-centred approach, I offer a supportive space where individuals of all ages can explore emotions, build insight, and reconnect with their inner healing. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s story. Through the use of painting, collage, sculpture, mindfulness, poetry, drawing, or storytelling, I encourage clients let their creativity lead to discover their own path toward healing and growth.

With a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges through creative expression, I specialize in guiding clients to explore their emotions, build resilience, and discover new perspectives through the healing power of art. My areas of expertise include generational trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, finding a sense of empowerment, and self-esteem building.
