The VA Hospital in Tampa was 1 of the first to join the Creative Forces NEA Military Healing Arts Network, which uses art therapy, dance/movement therapy, and music therapy to help heal U.S. military veterans, especially those dealing with traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.
I am trained and work as a Creative Arts Therapist specializing in group therapy. I have passionately studied, worked, and taught as a hands-on practitioner of the Creative/Expressive and Healing Arts since 1983 integrating various modalities working in a variety of clinical and non-clinical settings.
I currently provide Creative Arts and Counseling services to nonprofit agencies as well as occasionally teaching classes and workshops in communities of faith. I use compassion and acceptance to create an environment that is safe and nurturing for all individuals and groups.
In my spare time I engage in research and write articles on a variety of subjects, create: poems, music, abstract artwork, and photograph nature.
