What is Art Therapy?

Art Therapy is the use of the creative process, within the context of a therapeutic relationship, to practice healing or invite growth. I believe art making and creative expression are healing, growth producing processes in and of themselves, not adjunctive to traditional therapy. While reflection on process and product may be part of the work, the emphasis remains on the capacity for therapeutic transformation inherent in giving form to creative expression. 

Furthermore, body knowledge, intuitive wisdom, subjective experience and emotions are expressed and honored as valid ways of knowing, in and of themselves. Rational analysis is not required to validate these ways of knowing.  

Can I talk to you first, before scheduling?

Of course! I would love to chat and see if it seems like a good fit. You can fill out the contact form to schedule a free 15 minute consult with me. Prefer to jump right in? That is okay too, you can fill out the form to get in touch with me about scheduling.

Do you offer in-person or telehealth?

I offer teletherapy sessions through a secure and HIPPA compliant teletherapy platform. I offer ‘walk and talk ‘ sessions or community based-sessions when clinically appropriate.

Do you accept private insurance, Medicaid, or EAP?

No, I currently only accept private pay. Please see the about section for more information on why the practice does not work with external payors.

How much does it cost?

$150/hr
