About

Creative art therapy in a neurocognitive disorder setting helps patients to cope with the experience. It allows them to take an active part in their own healing. Art therapy places the value on expressive arts as a tool for insight and discovery. Making art does not require words to express feelings. It engages the right side of the brain, the part of the brain responsible for intuitive, creative and imaginative impulses. Developmentally, this works well for neurocognitive patients because art making reveals their internal experience in a safe, secure way.

My theoretical approach is rooted in psycho-dynamic theory. I follow family systems when working in a family therapy session. I and the client contextualize ecological factors such as cultural identities, variations of human sexuality, diversity, spirituality, and the impact of social development. Emphasis is placed on patients' verbal and non-verbal styles of communication for their treatment process. The overall intervention is the growth of the individual as he/she/they/them pass through tasks of life.

I am currently accepted under the Oregon Health Plan for insurance. If you live in the Bay Area of California, I also do home visits and assisted 
living visits for anyone on hospice.
