Coco is an art therapist, a registered therapeutic counsellor, and a registered yoga teacher.

I hope to work alongside you to help you cultivate self-worth and believe in your healing power to attend to your inner wounds. I work from a trauma-informed, somatic, and client-centered approach. I’m always finding ways to encourage my clients to reflect and become aware of their mind-body-spirit connection, tune into their heart space, and contemplate their identity and relationships with themselves, with others, and with their environment. By introducing somatic exercises to promote emotional healing. Applying creative prompts and art exercises to tap into your creativity and the unconscious. Bringing in mindfulness practices and journaling to guide you in expressing your experiences, memories, and feelings.

Both mindfulness practice and mindful art-making have the potential to process trauma while recognizing your felt sense (physical bodily awareness), which aren’t always easy to articulate or put into words. I facilitate art workshops in the hopes of inspiring folks to become the most authentic version of themselves, to start their healing journey, and to live their lives with creativity and mindfulness.
