As a Registered Drama Therapist (RDT), I combine therapeutic principles with drama therapy modalities for an opportunity of change and personal growth. Experiential and Relationship-Oriented Therapies are the foundation for my work as an RDT; however, each approach is based on a client’s needs and objectives. Most importantly, I believe everyone has value and purpose. Despite how one may think or feel, there is always truth: You matter. Your story matters. Share your story.
The following applications include select theories of Experiential and Relationship-Oriented Therapies. For more information or to schedule a group session, please complete the form located on Contact/Book Workshop.
