EXPRESSIVE ARTS & DRAMA THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS & GROUPS * WORKSHOPS * TRAININGS * PRIVATE SESSIONS

SERVICES INCLUDE:
EXPRESSIVE ARTS and DRAMA THERAPY with YOUTH & ADULTS
Sessions available in San Rafael office and by Skype.
Are you yearning to express yourself more fully? Are you feeling blocked or stuck in some area of your life, and yearning to experience freedom, joy and fulfillment? Do you feel drawn to a heart-centered, body-centered and creativity-centered approach to healing and growth? By encouraging deep listening to the body, the heart, and to our creative selves, I work as your ally in helping you to be fully self-expressed, joyful and aligned with your deepest self. Some of my specialty areas include transforming shadow material, healing past trauma and healing the inner critic, self-doubt and fear by honoring these forces and turning them into sources of creativity and wisdom. By embracing all aspects of ourselves fully with unconditional love and presence and connecting to the creative force within all of us, space is created in which we can thrive in our full aliveness and well-being.
Suraya compassionately and skillfully helped me to see so many opportunities in an area of my life in which I had been feeling stuck. I left our session feeling creative, invigorated, and full of potential. She also gave me valuable tools that I will use again and again to help me evaluate my options and find the ones most aligned with my passions, values, and talents. Thank you!

Solo Performance Training and Coaching
Is there a story you want to share with the world? Is there something inside you that wants to be expressed in the form of a performance, but you are not sure what that is yet? Is there something blocking your creative expression that wants to be freed? Sharing your story through solo performance can be exhilarating, nerve-racking, liberating, empowering and much much more. I would be honored to support you in the development, rehearsal and performance of a story that wants to be released from YOU and shared with the world. As one who has created my own solo performances as well as guided others through the process, I am aware of the medicine of this particular art form if one chooses to take the journey. Below is a clip of from one of my own solo performances:
