The option of drama therapy is offered to meet individual needs and comfort levels. Drama therapy is not about acting at all—it uses the principles of theatre, such as role, metaphor, story, ritual, and interpersonal collaboration, as a means to accomplish therapeutic goals. Most of my sessions will be in a more traditional talk therapy format, unless you are interested in using some drama therapeutic interventions. Drama therapy is the lens through which I see the world. Examining the roles we play in our lives and the way they sometimes conflict and butt up against each other can be a very effective way to learn about ourselves, unlock patterns that are no longer useful, and grow.
