Jungian roots and over 35 years of personal recovery. Special populations that Jas has worked with include mentally ill adults,
alcoholics and drug addicts, men and women with eating disorders, epileptics, relationship addicts, at-risk youth, the LGBTQ population and artists who are “stuck”. She also works with individuals in Third Stage recovery who use art and
art making in a Daily Practice as a path to spiritual growth and art therapy candidates accumulating hours and supervision.
