Mina ("mee-na")  |  she/hers

​

Welcome! I'm an art therapist who believes in the power of making art with intention, connection, and in the spirit of play. I'm a white settler living and working on the unceded, traditional and ancestral territories of the Lekwungen/Songhees and Esquimalt peoples, also known as "Victoria, BC". I have a Bachelor's Degree in Child and Youth Care from UVic and a Post-Baccalaureate Diploma from the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute.

 

My approach to art therapy is rooted in exploration and awareness. I'm committed to approaching therapy in a way that aligns with my values. This means that I'm political in my life and practice, and I seek to hold space in an anti-oppressive way while working in my community. 

 

I believe in the making of magic using any and all materials. Through a practice of curiosity, play, experimentation, and tender listening, I hold space for folks who want to explore all of their possibilities.

​

I'm interested in using ceramics, digital photography, garment sewing, poetry, improvised theatre, music, painting, and sensory activities to inject a sense of wonder and play into life.
