Thank you for visiting my personal website! I am an actress, director, drama and movement teacher as well as a Registered Drama Therapist who believes in the power of the arts to heal, transform and create bridges on both an individual and societal level. My work is multi-faceted, and whether directing a Shakespeare show with prisoners, conducting creative movement classes with pre-schoolers, or rehearsing a new play about spirituality and relationships, I seek to bring out and celebrate the creative process in each of us.  


This fall,  on Dec 2-3, 2011, I am very excited to facilitate a training at JFK University in California for Teachers, MFT's, LCSW's, Psychologists & Nurses entitled: Expressive Arts & Drama Therapy for Youth with Special Needs: An Introductory Toolkit.  Please see the "Trainings" page for more information.
