My Approach to Life and Art
Through individual and group sessions and my own creative work with dance, visual art, poetry and film, I am committed to finding the links between art and life. My work employs a variety of methods to support emotional and physical health, creative growth, and a deeper relationship to the world around us. I bring an artistic and compassionate perspective, embracing the challenges of life through the creative process. My work is rooted in the belief that the language of the soul speaks through the body, the imaginal world, artistic expression, and our life stories.
