Drama Therapy
Drama therapy is a creative and embodied, improvisational-based method that can help clients feel more engaged and experience greater freedom and presence in their bodies and lives.
​
Drama therapy can be made available in individual or group sessions, or incorporated as needed in verbal psychotherapy at times when a client may feel stuck, in their head, or be interested in a different approach.
​
I have been a guest lecturer on drama therapy at many academic and post-graduate institutions including New York University, The School of Visual Arts,Manhattanville College and the White Institute. I was an adjunct faculty member at the New School and am currently on faculty at the Apollo Institute in Beijing, China. I am available for teaching, guest lectures and supervision.
Supervision
I provide clinical supervision, both short and long term, to help students and interested professionals develop alternative work perspectives and see things more clearly. I act as a guide, a bridge, offering feedback to help strengthen clinical and creative impulses in our often challenging work. Supervision sessions will provide perspective, greater clarity and containment, and encourage clinicians to find a greater sense of their own voice in their clinical work and experience with clients. I am currently a clinical modality supervisor for expressive therapy graduate students at Lesley College.
As a licensed creative arts therapist, Registered Drama Therapist (RDT) and Board Certified Trainer (BCT) I can provide clinical supervision and/or consultation to:
-
Students of creative arts therapies
-
Practicing creative arts therapists
-
Professionals seeking consultation in the use of drama and arts in therapy and supportive services.
