Art therapy incorporates visual art, creative expression, and psychotherapy to support emotional healing, self-understanding, and nervous system regulation. It’s grounded in the idea that some experiences, particularly those shaped by trauma or in early life, can be difficult to process through words alone.

Creative expression offers a symbolic language that can hold complexity and contradiction, allowing multiple layers of experience to be expressed at once.  It then becomes possible to witness inner dynamics from more of a distance and gain new perspectives.  Because creativity is inherently life-affirming, artmaking can bring an uplifting quality into therapy even when working with painful themes.

No artistic skill is required. The focus is not on making something “good,” but on using the creative process as a way of listening inward. For those with an existing creative practice, this work can open new ways of relating to creativity. For others, it offers an accessible entry point into expression and self-exploration.  

There are many different approaches and we will collaborate to discover the mediums, modalities, and processes that are right for you.

Somatic therapy is grounded in the understanding that mind, body, and spirit are different aspects of a unified whole, and that each person has an innate capacity toward healing when provided enough support. In sessions, it involves bringing mindful attention to what is happening in the body in the present moment and exploring how those somatic experiences are linked with emotions, memories, and core beliefs.

Through careful pacing and attunement, somatic therapy can help slow automatic reactivity and increase your ability to stay present with difficult or overwhelming feelings. It also brings awareness to how past experiences are held in the body so they can be gently met and gradually integrated. Over time, this work can support a greater sense of grounding, wellbeing and resilience.

My standard fee is $165 per 45-minute session. I also reserve a limited number of sliding-scale and low-fee spots in my practice in order to make therapy more accessible. If finances are a barrier, I encourage you to reach out. I am happy to discuss current availability and explore options together.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. However, many insurance plans offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services. I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan, so I recommend checking with your insurance provider about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

If you are unsure what your benefits cover or whether therapy feels financially feasible right now, you are welcome to inquire. We can have a transparent, low-pressure conversation about fees and options.
