Where is the office located?
Do you accept insurance?
I accept Cigna insurance. I also am partnered with Mentaya, and can run your insurance to see if you are eligible for reimbursement. Get in touch for more information!
What do I do to get started?
What documentation?
Like at a doctor’s office, tattoo shop, or gym, therapy requires consent and an understanding of expectations to be safe.
I ask everyone to review and sign explanations of privacy as a person attending therapy, consents to attend therapy, and explanations of my private practice policies (the nuts and bolts of things like contacting me between sessions, cancellations, and payment).
What is art therapy?
Art therapy uses the process and product of art and art-making as an element in therapy. For some people, making art in session is soothing, helps take the focus off “being in therapy,” and reduces “Zoom fatigue.” Some people prefer to work on art between sessions – I can send art prompts that you can work on in your own time, and we will explore them in session. And some people prefer regular talk therapy. I can (and do!) use all these approaches in any combination in my work.

What are the benefits of therapy?
Therapy helps you learn about your inner world. You’ll better know what you feel and find better and healthier ways to manage those responses. As this emotional process makes more sense, you’ll experience tangible benefits in your life.
You’ll see yourself getting better at saying “no” to things you don’t want to do, being less irritable and snapping at others, and enjoying something you enjoy more deeply. You can stop being as overwhelmed as you may have been in the past. Your self-knowledge will deepen, creating a ripple effect in almost everything you do.
How long do I need to be in therapy?
It varies! Most committed people will start to see changes in their personal lives. There’s no hard deadline because therapy and wellness are journeys, not destinations.

How long have you been in practice?
