About
I have been an art psychotherapist since 1982. I currently work with adolescents and adults, using a trauma informed integrated approach for the impact of developmental trauma with its comorbidity, dissociation, and attachment issues. Art gives voice to what is stored implicitly within sensory somatic means. My client and I foster the relational benefit of the compassionate therapeutic alliance using the power of the creative process with a strength based focus. Our collaborative goal is to resolve the impact of the past; building resiliency, internal wisdom, and self compassion. I am an approved art therapy Supervisor in Maryland. Life is traumatic. We can be traumatized by a diagnosis, abuse, loss, economy, illness, war, natural and man made disasters. I seek a genuineness to my therapeutic relationships, finding this with the language of expressive arts integrated with IFS (Level 2), EMDR, bilateral processes, Neurosequential trauma informed approaches. Art enhances talk therapy. I offer a free 30 minute phone consultation to assess if we are an appropriate fit. I’m OON, providing superbills. I’m a hybrid private practice, in office M and W, and virtual T and Th. I offer consultation and supervision to therapists, teach for many professional institutes, adjunct graduate faculty for FSU and GWU, and authored several chapters.
