Waitlist for new clients
I help those who are searching for a creative solution to life's challenges, and are open to trying something a little different than your standard talk therapy model. I am open to working with people from all walks of life, who are seeking help with existential issues or times of transformation. For those paying out of pocket, I'm willing to tackle concerns that might not fit the average health insurance's requirement of being diagnosed with a "mental health disorder".
First and foremost, my private practice is centered in Art Therapy and Expressive Arts approaches. I work with people using fine art media, writing, guided imagery and/or somatically oriented approaches (movement, rhythm, sound, tapping, and more). I can also help you craft specific creative works, rituals, or ceremonies to help with major life events.
Our first meeting will be a chance to get to know one another a little, explore issues you'd like to work on, and determine if what I offer is the right fit. I'll provide you my recommendations, and work with you to set up a plan of care and a schedule for meeting, and/or refer you to other providers or resources as appropriate.
