Catharsis Drama Therapy Consultants and Psychodrama Training Institute

I see the whole person. I work eclectically with the many forms of therapy I have trained in over 35 years as a therapist from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) through the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping. There is no one fit for a person and therapy is a dance where you guide your clients between steps so they can soar alone. They need you to lead where they need extra safety for containment and expansion, then they take the lead, and you flow clinically with them. As a Drama Therapist and Psychodramatist, my primary focus is to improve spontaneity of self through action methods. This is whatever the client needs at the time. My focus is to help you feel seen so you can see yourself.
