EXPRESSIVE ARTS
I am interested in the role of the expressive
arts in the recovery from medical trauma and
the connection between creativity and coping.
Expressive arts therapies are multi-modal, multi
sensory interventions that can include, dance,
music, writing, performance and visual arts.
Upcoming pieces will focus on the therapeutic
aspects of music.
