Art Therapy Without Borders

Thank you for visiting my website! My intention is to provide an international web-based resource for professionals, students, and the public. I am committed to the idea of "art therapy without borders"-- the use of visual arts for health, wellness, psychotherapy, community development, service to others, and social transformation. To that end, I am an author, speaker, researcher, art therapist, mental health counselor, artist, advocate, and explorer of how art changes lives throughout the world, each and every day.

My philosophy is simple--art has the potential to change lives and often in profound ways. When words are not enough, we turn to images and symbols to tell our stories. And in telling our stories through art, we can find a path to healing, recovery, and transformation.

I hope you find the resources on this site helpful. While I cannot answer every email, please feel free to contact me with your comments and particularly your stories about how art has changed your life or how you have used art to change the lives of others. In the near future, this site will feature some of these stories from here in the US and around the world. And please visit often to find the latest resources, news, downloads, and information!
