Beginning therapy can feel like a challenging process, so I am happy to help ease the process in any way that I can. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adult clients to feel more comfortable accessing and working through their emotional and cognitive processing in hopes of strengthening coping skills and practicing authentic self-reflection. My therapeutic and humanistic approach focuses on encouraging agency, supporting goals, and facilitating healing. I believe that a thoughtful and psychodynamic process of individualized or group art therapy creates a space for safe emotional and creative exploration.
I am a Licensed Creative Art Therapist (LCAT) in New York and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida. In our sessions, you can expect flexibility based on your comforts, an introspective blend of talk therapy and creative processing, and a supportive environment to explore your therapy goals.
Due to the difference in licensure between states, I am only accepting Cigna in NY and all insurances listed in my profile in FL. Sessions are via telehealth and I offer free 15-min phone consultations. If you would like to learn more about my therapy and art therapy services, please reach out via email or phone and I will respond as soon as I can!
