Daily life presents overwhelming challenges, fueled by daily responsibilities and the uncertainties that cast shadows over us. Anxiety, fear, and frustration can easily take hold. Feeling stuck or adrift, many find it hard to discover purpose amidst the chaos, and they just can’t keep up with all of the pressure from school, work, family or friends.
If this sounds like you, remember you’re not alone. In such moments, seeking a therapist’s support is a rightful and deserving step.
The Art of Life Therapy’s Guide to Self-Creation
Be an artist of your own life
Art of Life Therapy encapsulates the idea that we all have the power and creativity to shape our own lives just as an artist creates a work of art. Art of Life Therapy was founded on the belief that through therapy, we can gain the skills, tools and insights that we need to create the life we desire. This concept emphasizes personal agency, self-expression, and the ability to make intentional choices that lead to a fulfilling and meaningful life. Like how an artist selects colors, textures, and shapes to bring their vision to life on canvas, individuals can make choices about their actions, relationships, goals, and mindset to create a life that aligns with their values and aspirations. This perspective highlights the importance of self-awareness, self-determination, and taking an active role in one’s own personal development.
Life is not simply something that happens to us, but rather something we can actively participate in and craft according to our desires and dreams.
Art Of Life Therapy provides both evidence-based and heart-based support to teens and adults.

Respect for Human Dignity
This means I provide a client unconditional positive regard, compassion, a non-judgmental attitude, empathy, and trust.
Personal Integrity
As a Counselling Therapist I aid individuals in navigating difficult emotional and mental health challenges, and it is paramount to approach this work with sensitivity and professionalism. The trust that clients place in me is a sacred privilege that I hold in high regard. The therapist must reflect personal integrity, honesty, and truthfulness with clients.
Social Justice
I respect the diversity of the clients, the diversify of individuals, their cultures, languages, lifestyles, identities, ideologies, intellectual capacities, personalities, and capabilities regardless of the presented issues.
Let’s connect!
I believe the client-therapist relationship is the core component of therapy, therefore I offer 15 minutes free consultation to help determine if we are the right fit for each other.
