“Cairn” comes from the Gaelic term of “heap of stones”.  Cairns are used to memorialize and to mark trails.  Cairns have the power to clarify and help a person navigate.

Let me be your cairn

I’m glad you’re here. I’m Fiona and I’m a Board Certified Art Therapist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over seven years of clinical experience empowering people to be confident and motivated to create a life of purpose. I work with adults and adolescents in transition due to loss and or trauma and are experiencing feelings of grief, anxiety and/or depression. I incorporate nature, art, movement, coping skills and mindfulness exercises to gain insight and increase awareness of mind and body connection to empower my clients to reduce feelings of anxiety and feel more at ease, calm and present. Check out my Blog (click below) for some examples of obtaining mindfulness in nature, through movement and art making.

While virtual visits are great for many people because of the convenience, many people are finding that they want the increased sense of connection or a need to get out of the house if working from home. My office is located by beautiful Lake Merritt.
