Relational • Trauma-Informed • Culturally Safe

Why Art Therapy For Elders?

Many elders in community settings experience:

• Social isolation
• Grief and loss
• Transitions in identity and independence
• Trauma and intergenerational impacts
• Barriers to accessing traditional mental health services

Art therapy offers a gentle, accessible pathway to healing—without requiring words.

My work is grounded in:

• Relational practice (connection over hierarchy) 
• Cultural safety and humility 
• Choice and accessibility 
• Consistency and trust-building 

Programs can be offered in:

• Shared/common spaces 
• Dining areas or lounges 
• Existing community hubs 

I meet participants where they are—emotionally and physically.
