FEATURED IN
CREATIVE MENTAL HEALTH SOLUTIONS
ARTS-BASED EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE & COLLABORATION
​
Leadership Development
Being a leader in the 21st century requires a new set of skills to thrive in a world that is increasingly volatile, uncertain and complex. Relying solely on problem-solving skills is simply not enough. Today’s leaders must also cultivate creativity and the ability to navigate complexity in order to thrive. An artful leader must know how to lead people creatively. Empowering leaders to approach familiar challenges in fresh ways!
​
Communication &
Team-Building
For innovation to flourish, organizations must create an environment that fosters creativity; bringing together multi-talented groups of people who work in close collaboration together— exchanging knowledge, ideas and shaping the direction of the future. The ability to communicate across disciplines, business units and customers is crucial to your innovation success.
​
Hands-on activities involve arts-based approaches to create safety, build trust, find shared values, shift perceptions, and uncover the ‘group gold’ that leads to breakthroughs in problem-solving. The arts are especially useful in helping people from different cultures find common ground and build cohesion.
​
1:1 Coaching
Are you are looking for ways to foster creativity and innovation at work?
​
Struggling to bring your ideas, dreams and aspirations to life?
If you have ideas but don’t act on them, you are imaginative but not creative. Creativity takes courage especially in times of turbulence, and coaching can help you overcome the obstacles that block fruition. I coach individuals and teams, including creatives and change agents, on bringing deeper levels of creativity into their lives.
​
Develop the mindsets, skillsets, toolsets and habits to deepen your practice as a creative, be it in business, science or in the arts.
CREATIVE CONSULTATIONS
INSPIRATIONAL & INNOVATIVE
​
Training & Education
Whether you are an arts organization looking to support the emotional wellness of your team, or a mental health agency searching for creative interventions for your clients, I provide a wealth of knowledge on connecting the arts together creative therapeutic programs.
​
I bring people together for thoughtful and productive dialogue about difficult and complex topics using an empathy-based, collaborative approach. Through design, performance, storytelling, and psychodramatic techniques, I create experiences that move people into a deeper understanding of their work and each other. I provide questions, frameworks, and resources to help you think critically about your own practices and values.
Under the guidance of myself and my award-winning team of Creative Arts Therapists, participants prepare themselves as leaders in their career, effecting purposeful and inspiring revolutions in the community and workplace through the arts and healthcare.
​
My consultations allow your organization to learn about Creative Arts Therapy and its use of theatre techniques to facilitate personal growth and promote health, along with expressive arts therapy multi-modal focus (art, music, dance/movement, and poetry).
