Having earned my masters level training in Expressive Arts Therapy graduate program at Lesley College in Cambridge Massachusetts, I combine my clinical training in psychology with my firsthand knowledge of the arts and their potential for holistic healing of the mind body and spirit. My work with cancer patients at Sutter Hospital in Sacramento CA for the last 18 years has directed me to take Expressive Arts Therapy into palliative and hospice care.

I am particularly interested in relationship between other healing arts such as yoga, meditation, spirituality and Arts in Healthcare.

I introduce the important role creativity plays in living a meaningful life as well moving consciously into the end of life transition.
