About Mali

Hello, I am Mali.  A Registered Canadian Art Therapist, with a specialty in childhood grief and loss.  I work with children who have experienced trauma and I work with adults who have experienced trauma in childhood.  I draw upon a client-centred, strength based approach in my work with young and more mature clients. 

Making art helps the client talk about and share their feelings.  This is especially important where the trauma and hurt are so deep that there are no words - only colour and shape to help a client talk about their story, step-by-step and at a pace that is right for the client.

I am also a Certified Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner and feel honoured to work with adults and youth through the Compassionate Inquiry process. 

I practice Art Therapy and Compassionate Inquiry from the lens and intention of helping clients to recognize, support and embrace their story.    

Together we can form a partnership to work in a good way to help you and/or your child work through presenting issues.
