The creative arts are able to open doors where there have been blocks, and it does so in a very powerful but gentle fashion. The arts help us bypass verbal and cognitive defenses to arrive more quickly at the core of the self. The arts, all of the arts, are able to help us grieve our losses and celebrate our successes. With images, we are better able to review the past and create a new and exciting future.
I am an artist and author who uses the creative arts with my clients inside of the practice of psychotherapy.

Just as athletes need to cross train their muscles, as humans we need to cross train our brains, senses, and psyches. Talk therapy works, and adding a creative element deepens and enhances the total experience of healing.

In each session, I seek processes that access one or more of the following: senses, emotions, thoughts, and perceptions for therapeutic interventions that work.

Although the field of mental health and addiction frowns upon therapists using words such as miracles and magic to define our practices, an early intervention with art after a trauma, reduces the individual’s chance of developing PTSD by 80 percent. By any standards, this is miraculous. My definition of miracle, “An extraordinary healing, sometimes spontaneous, that appears to be like magic, until we have the science to explain it.“ Fortunately, science is catching up to what I have known all along, art heals our brains, emotions, bodies and souls.
