I understand first hand what it feels like to be stuck in the cycle of anxiety and chronic stress. The endless worrying, racing thoughts and sleepless nights.
Maybe you've been living with anxiety for a long time, or it's new and unfamiliar. Either way, it can be scary, overwhelming and exhausting. Your experience might have been minimized, dismissed, or told it's "all in your head". And asking for help? That can be one of the hardest parts.
I work with women virtually in Canada who are navigating general, health, social anxiety, chronic stress, burnout and panic attacks. I also support those who have felt unheard or dismissed in medical systems - women who are dealing with health-related challenges and carrying stress, anger or a deep sense of being unseen.
Using a blend of arts-based interventions, talk therapy and nervous system support, I offer a space where you can begin to understand yourself with compassion. A place to slow down, reconnect with yourself and gently begin to shift out of survival mode.
Working Together
I offer a blend of creative and talk-based therapy, tailored to what feels most supportive for you. Some sessions might involve artmaking or body-based techniques, while others may be more conversational. You don’t need to be “artistic” to benefit. This is a space to explore, process, and reconnect with yourself

THE ART THERAPIST BEHIND BIRCHWOOD
Well, hi there! I’m Connor (she/her), an art therapist and registered psychotherapist, and the founder of Birchwood Art Therapy.
I offer virtual therapy for women across Ontario, British Columbia and other areas in Canada, specializing in anxiety, burnout, and the overwhelm that so many of us quietly carry.
I consider it a true honour to support each client I work with. The people I sit with in session constantly inspire me. I bring my full, messy, anxious, imperfect self to this work, because I know how hard it can be to ask for help, and I’ve been there too. Whether you're navigating health anxiety, chronic stress, or emotional exhaustion, therapy can be a space to slow down, create meaning, and begin again.
Outside the therapy room, I’m a big tea drinker (coffee’s never quite worked for me!), a devoted Swiftie, a lover of all things bookish, and, unsurprisingly, a lifelong art enthusiast.

Reaching out for help is a big step. I am so happy that you are here and taking these next steps for yourself. Finding a therapist that feels like a right fit for you is part of the process. I offer a free 15-Minute consultation that allows us to connect and decide together if it feels like a good fit. I am here for you and to support in the best way that I can. Can't wait to hear from you.
