Managing and solving problems in life requires creativity. Like your body, if you exercise your creativity, it gets stronger, it sustains you when it is called to action, and you thrive. Tapping into your creative potential, an inner resource that can help you address the concerns and difficulties in your life, and taking a holistic view of yourself as healthy, even in the presence of hardship or illness, can allow you to create a more fulfilling life. With the guidance of an art therapist, art-making facilitates creative thinking skills, helps people find meaning in both triumph and struggle, and expedites growth and healing.

Issues I can help you address:

Medical & Health-Related Issues
Depression
Anxiety
Relationship Issues
Food and Body Image Concerns
Life Transitions
Childlessness
LGBQ Issues
Personal Growth
Self-Esteem & Confidence
Communication Issues

I am a Registered Board-Certified Art Therapist and Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor providing services to children, teens, and adults. Combining traditional verbal therapy with expressive arts techniques, I help clients address their concerns, and learn new coping skills. I offer individual therapy, small group therapy, and creativity workshops at my office in Bensalem, PA, just outside of Philadelphia. I am also available to facilitate patient workshops and professional in-services at your location. For people who live beyond the Philadelphia metro area, I can offer online counseling/teletherapy via Skype.

Children With Diabetes: 2012 Friends For Life Conference
Join me on Wednesday July 4th for diabetes-themed art-making at the Marriot World Center in Orlando, FL! This day-long open art session is for the entire family, so after you register for the conference, but before you head out for evening fireworks displays, stop by to see what a meaningful and memorable experience it is to make art family style. Families are encouraged to bring a stash of diabetes trash – pump tubing, pods, boxes, packaging, wrappers, test strip bottles – to recycle into art.
