Using a strengths-based, person-centered approach, therapy focuses on cultivating self-understanding, emotional awareness, and overall mental and emotional well-being.

Somatic and expressive methods such as Art Therapy, Sandtray Therapy, and bilateral stimulation support the processing of emotions and help desensitize stressful or traumatic experiences. These trauma-informed, trauma-focused, and non-verbal modalities offer effective alternatives or complements to traditional talk therapy.


EMDR and Brainspotting

Somatic approaches such as EMDR and Brainspotting use bilateral stimulation and eye movements to desensitize and process stressful and traumatic experiences. These trauma-informed and trauma-focused modalities are alternatives to talk therapy.

Hello, it’s great to meet you! My name is Miranda, and I’m a Clinical Counsellor and Art Therapist Intern at Heartspace Counselling and Art Therapy. I am currently in my second year of the Master of Counselling Psychology: Art Therapy program at Adler University.

I bring warmth, empathy, and a nonjudgmental presence into my work, and I practice from a person-centered and relational approach. This means that you set the direction of our sessions, and I’m here to walk alongside you with compassionate understanding that is attuned to your needs.

I often integrate talk therapy, mindfulness, and art therapy — since words alone can sometimes feel limiting, art can offer a powerful way to express and process what we carry.

My therapeutic lens is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I’ve also completed introductory training in Gestalt therapy and Trauma-Informed Practice (TIPI Level 1: Trauma and the Body), and may integrate somatic techniques to support deeper awareness and regulation.

I feel especially drawn to supporting those navigating emotional regulation, perfectionism, anxiety, boundary setting, and relationship challenges. Growing up highly sensitive myself, I know how overwhelming these experiences can feel, and I’ve witnessed the power of counselling and art therapy in building insight, ease, and self-compassion.

Outside of the therapy room, I love yoga, snowboarding, bike rides, dancing, and winding down with a good book, music, drawing—or cuddles with my cats!
