ART & SENSORY PLAY
Art as a Creative Pathway
If art is an area you’d like to explore—or if your child naturally gravitates toward arts and crafts as a form of expression—we can thoughtfully integrate creative modalities into the therapeutic process. Artistic expression can support emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and offer a safe outlet for processing big feelings in a meaningful way. It is both grounding and self regulating.
Some of the mediums we may work with include:
-
Drawing and sketching
-
Colouring and mandala making
-
Painting (oil, acrylic, or watercolours)
-
Molding and sculpting (Play-Doh, Wikki Stix, clay)
-
Bracelet and craft making
Creativity has a gentle way of helping us express what words sometimes cannot. It invites connection, reflection, and healing in ways that feel natural, personal, and empowering.
Sand Play Therapy
In addition to art-based modalities, I also offer Sand Play Therapy as a gentle, sensory-based approach to self-expression and emotional processing.
I have completed specialized training through “Neuroscience and Satire in the Sand” with Dr. Madeleine De Little, which has deepened my understanding of how this therapeutic method supports regulation, storytelling, and nervous system integration.
If you’re interested in incorporating Sand Play Therapy into your session, simply let me know—we can explore whether it’s the right fit for your goals and comfort level.
