Christine has a private practice of expressive arts therapy with children in West Vancouver and Squamish.

She specializes in expressive arts therapy using inter arts modalities such as painting, sandtray, gardening, sculpture,

story telling, dance and music.

Through art and play, children are allowed to think about or even change a difficult or overwhelming experience into

something small enough to cope with.
A child experiences growth by playing out feelings as he or she brings them to the surface, faces them, learns to

control them and abandons them.
Children are given the freedom and space to express themselves in their own terms exactly as they are at that moment

in their own way and in their own time.
The custodial parent will be included in several sessions to foster attachment, improve the parent-child relationship, and

be an active participant of change in their children.

Christine also works in the children's programs at the Howe Sound Womens Centre. She is a Children Who Witness

Abuse Counsellor, working with children and families who at one time have been exposed to high level conflict or

violence at home. Children Who Witness Abuse counsellors focus on safety, personal boundaries, healthy expression

of feelings, helathy relationships, coping with stress/fear, and problem solving. Parent support is part of the program.

This service is free of charge for those in need.
