Specialties:
- If your career in the film and entertainment industry has caused you distress, I am familiar with the unique challenges of this competitive arena and can assist you in overcoming creative blocks and emotional barriers to your artistic endeavors.
- Life review and reminiscence therapy – I assist individuals in autobiographical self-expression helping them to articulate in different media their life story and family history. Using the creative process within the safety of a therapeutic framework allows for intuitive self-exploration as well as for the uncovering of buried feelings and pent-up traumatic memories.
