What to Expect

  • I offer therapy sessions via HIPAA-compliant Zoom.

    Telehealth (video/audio) sessions require a private space that is quiet and distraction-free for both the client and therapist. Make sure your device is charged.

    I encourage clients to have tissues nearby, paper and pen, and any art supplies you may be interested in using.

  • I meet with clients on a weekly basis. Meeting weekly allows us to build momentum, stay connected to the themes that arise, and create a dependable space for exploration and growth. Once we establish a time that works for both of us, that will be your reserved, recurring session time each week.

  • Many people find that lasting healing comes from longer-term work. In ongoing therapy, we have the time and space to move beyond coping strategies and really understand the roots of your patterns—why you feel the way you do in relationships, what old wounds still shape your present, and how different parts of you long to be heard. Longer-term therapy also allows us to gently work through the places where you feel emotionally stuck, giving those frozen or hidden parts of you room to move, breathe, and shift. This deeper work doesn’t happen overnight, but with consistency and care, long-term therapy can offer profound relief, greater self-trust, and a stronger sense of connection—to yourself and to others.

  • Sessions with me are collaborative. I invite clients to start the session with what is present for them. This may be an issue they have been dealing with over the past week, something they’ve been thinking about a lot, or emotions that they’re currently experiencing.

    Together we’ll explore the deeper patterns and address emotional blockages through dialogue, the expressive arts, and/or guided meditation and parts work.

    At the end of the session, we’ll make time for debriefing, integration, and your intentions for the next week.

  • Everyone has an innate sense of creativity—it’s part of being human. You don’t need talent or technical skill to benefit from expressive arts therapy. What matters most is bringing openness, curiosity, and a willingness to engage with whatever arises.

    Much like dreams, the images, movements, or expressions that emerge in creative work may not always be realistic, but they carry emotional truth. In expressive arts therapy, we’re less concerned with literal accuracy and more interested in the underlying essence—the symbols, feelings, and unconscious themes that come through in the process.

    I will never evaluate your art as “good” or “bad.” Instead, we’ll explore together what your creation may be expressing about your inner world—longings, conflicts, or unspoken experiences that may not find words right away. My role is not to judge, but to stay curious alongside you, helping bring into awareness the meanings and emotions woven into your work.
