In my private practice I offer therapy sessions rooted in
Jungian-oriented Expressive Arts Therapy to individuals,
adolescents and couples. As a licensed psychologist and registered
expressive arts therapist (REAT), I strive to be caring, curious,
kind, working together with each client to develop the trust and
support needed for this work. Through the use of arts and personal
expression we are able to access emotions in a deep and profound
way, to heal trauma and to tap into the meaning and creativity of
life. By integrating the body, arts and the soul, we work towards
developing fuller, more meaningful lives.
These psychotherapy sessions can be used to address a variety of
underlying issues. I suggest a 10-15 minute initial phone
consultation to discuss
my approach and philosophy and answer any questions.
Private Sessions
Adults
My adult client sessions draw on a foundation of art and culture,
spirituality and Jungian Psychology. Together we work to create an
environment of safety and freedom, where all fears, emotions and
desires are allowed. In this place of support and deep trust, one's
images can reveal
layers of meaning that can open to more viable life changes.
Children
Using the symbolic language of play and the expressive arts to
enter the inner world of a child, I strive to understand the
meaning of these images and translate them to words. This play
therapy approach helps the child deal with difficult feelings,
behaviors and thoughts. Understanding the child's inner world can
also aid parents and educators in making concrete changes in the
child's outer world.
Couples
With couples in distress, I help them rebuild their house of
marriage or partnership, interweaving the languages of arts,
Jungian psychology and couples counseling.
Together we address the serious issues in partnership by improving
communication, increasing empathy and promoting creative problem
solving in their relationship.
All sessions generally take place weekly and last for 50 minutes,
though more frequent sessions can be arranged.
Training and Supervision
I also provide training and supervision for those working in the
field of mental health and personal growth — educators, trainers,
life coaches and licensed psychology professionals.
I work with budding to seasoned professionals, helping them deepen
their work through integrating Expressive Arts and Jungian psychology.
