Art is food for the soul~ That is why I have chosen to use art as a therapeutic tool with both patients and students. It goes beyond words to the sacred places within us all. I think it saved my life as a child and teenager growing up. In addition, I value education and training. Here is an excerpt from my bio as seen on the CW Post LIU website, where I teach in the Art Therapy Program as an Adjunct Professor:
