My Offerings
My compassionate, person-centred approach blends Art Therapy, Somatics and Talk Therapy (IFS-Informed & ACT) to support the complex, and sometimes conflicting, emotions that come with being human. Grounded in a background in Neuroscience, my approach recognizes the powerful connection between the brain and body. I deeply believe in your innate capacity to heal and grow, and always honour that you are the expert in your own life.
I work with adults navigating grief, trauma, self-esteem/identity, relationships, and more. I offer in-person sessions in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and online sessions across Canada (excluding Quebec).

In-person Group @ Risework Therapy

Wednesday March 25th, 2026 630-8pm (18+)
Air - a space to explore breath, expansion, perspective, and possibility through creative expression. No art experience necessary to participate!
Through guided art-making and reflection, we’ll connect with the element of air through our bodies, breath, and the art. We will track how air is moving through us, and notice our capacity for openness and expansion - noticing where we may need more space, clarity, or ease in our lives.
Only 1 spot left in this month’s Elemental Art Therapy group. Join us to slow down, reconnect with your breath, and create space for new insight and movement within.

Art Therapy Groups with Eating Disorders Nova Scotia
In-person Groups @ Eating Disorders Nova Scotia
2711 Agricola Street, Halifax NS, B3K 4C7
Saturday March 28th, 2026 1-230pm (16+)
Join me for a monthly art therapy group focused on using creativity as a tool for grounding, emotional expression, clarity, and self-connection. This group invites participants to explore their inner experiences in a gentle, accessible way - no art experience, or diagnosis, is required - only curiosity and openness.
Together we will:
Use guided art-making to explore emotions, sensations, and patterns connected to disordered eating and body image
Practice grounding and regulation tools through creative and somatic exercises, such as bilateral scribbling, journaling, and reflective art prompts
Build self-compassion and deepen understanding of different parts of ourselves in a supportive group space
I work from a person-centered approach, guiding individuals and groups in ways that feel meaningful and supportive. In these workshops, you can expect to feel more connected to yourself, gain new insights and coping tools, and discover ways of expressing and processing emotions beyond words.
This program is currently being offered free of charge, though donations are welcome! If you have any questions about this group, or future groups, please reach out to sarah@thetidesarttherapy.ca
