Creative Arts Psychotherapist

A keen sensitivity towards human potential and human suffering forms the core for my work as creative arts psychotherapist with emphasis on dance movement therapy and drama therapy. Creative arts psychotherapy uses arts as medium which enables the emotional, physical and social integration and development of the individual.
