Art Therapy during the COVID pandemic, has been both challenging and rewarding.....

YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IS ESSENTIAL....MASK UP, use gloves or hand sanitizer, disinfect studio in between sessions, provide each client with their own set of tools.  Groups are facilitated in a space large enough to ensure physical distancing.

"The Studio,with its artmaking energies,is central to the practice of art and healing." Shaun McNiff

I AM currently in the US, having completed a Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree, Trauma Informed Practitioner Certification, working in Community Mental Health and in a Studio Based Art Therapy and Counseling private practice.  My Art Therapy is cross cultural, focusing on healing through self expression, self reflection and creative exploration. Art Therapy is utilized to foster intra/interpersonal communication, building community, individual and group empowerment and the development of social, emotional and literacy skills.....beneficial for any population, culture, age or ability level. 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 brings about personal and interpersonal transformation in addition to creating Peace, both internally and externally".                                                             
​   "...to create union and peace within the individual heart, which then will naturally manifest in the world."  
Pat B. Allen, Art is a Spiritual Path

"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."       The Mother

Mission Statement
As an Artist, Art Therapist, Educator and Mental Health Counselor...I seek to nurture and facilitate the life-long growth and development, education and evolution, in not only myself, but those I work and share community with, both locally and globally.
