ART THERAPY was/is challenging, rewarding and adaptable, during the COVID pandemic.....

​ 


​I am a big fan of hand sanitizing, and I've always disinfected the studio in between sessions. Since COVID, I provide each client with their own set of tools.   I facilitate sessions in a well- ventilated space, large enough to ensure physical distancing, and limit group size.
​
I AM an ARTIST, Trauma Informed ART THERAPIST AND MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR, who has created a life in both Alamosa, Colorado in the San Luis Valley of Colorado, and in Auroville, a "Universal Township" in Tamil Nadu, South India.....   I am providing art therapy and counseling services in person and online, individual and groups.   
My Therapeutic approach is cross-cultural and eclectic, weaving together the Creative Arts Therapies and traditional Counseling tools and practices. The work focuses on fostering self -expression, self- reflection, self-awareness and personal empowerment through making art, Bilateral Drawing, journaling and gaining insight. GROWTH and HEALING are facilitated by a trauma-informed, strength based, solution focused approach, supported by evidence- based psychoeducation.  
ART THERAPY PROVIDES A VOICE WHERE ONE MAY OR MAY NOT EXIST.   I call my programs CREATE AND TRANSFORM because I truly believe that making art and participating in the creative process is inherently THERAPEUTIC and that ART HEALS.......MAKING ART is the best MEDICINE for your MENTAL HEALTH.

My online Trauma-Informed Art Therapy and Mental Health Counseling practice, is currently accepting new clients through Open Path Counseling Cooperative  Find Counselor (openpathcollective.org)  Providing AFFORDABLE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.

"...healing through art is one of the oldest cultural practices in every region of the world." Shaun McNiff
"Art is a living harmony and beauty that must be expressed in all the movements of existence.  
This manifestation of beauty and harmony is part of the Divine realisation upon earth, perhaps even its greatest part."
