Hard to find anything on Gnews since this is a fairly common name, but adding "art therapy" or other keywords got no results. The only sources on Gbooks were either his own publications or the most passing of mentions as a reference — nothing actually about him. All sources in the article are WP:PRIMARY.

• Comment. This article is patently self-promotional, but the subject does appear to be notable as an author. He has a legit publisher and book reviews here and here. The Viking at Stamford Bridge (talk) 21:56, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
