Hello, I'm Lora
For more than eighteen years, I've had the privilege of walking alongside children, teens, and adults as they make sense of their lives through creativity. My work has taken me into private practice, community programs, federal initiatives, and First Nations partnerships, each experience deepening my understanding of the resilience, wisdom, and capacity for growth that lives within us all.
I first trained as a fine artist at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, imagining a life centred around making art. Along the way, I realized I was far more interested in the creative journey than the finished artwork. I became fascinated by the way creativity invites reflection, reveals new perspectives, and helps us understand ourselves in ways words sometimes cannot.
That realisation led me to Art Therapy, where I found a way to bring together creativity, counselling, and authentic human connection. It remains a privilege to witness the courage it takes to begin, and the quiet moments of insight that unfold along the way.
Today, I am a Registered Canadian Art Therapist Supervisor (RCAT-S) and Master Therapeutic Counsellor (MTC). My practice is informed by ongoing training in Play Therapy, Sandtray Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Trauma Recovery, allowing me to tailor each session to the unique person in front of me.
Alongside my therapy practice, I also offer clinical supervision for emerging and practicing art therapists, providing a reflective and supportive space to strengthen therapeutic presence, deepen clinical practice, and grow confidence in an authentic way of working.
