Question 1

What can I expect in the 1st session?

Accepted Answer

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin to understand what feels stuck or overwhelming. It’s a gentle start — you’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable.

Question 2

Do I need to be artistic to try Expressive Arts Therapy or visual journaling?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. You don’t need any art experience.

Expressive arts therapy is about process, not product. It’s a way to explore emotions, gain insight, and connect with yourself — not to make “good” art. Just curiosity and openness are enough.

Question 3

What is visual journaling, and how is it used in therapy?

Accepted Answer

Visual journaling blends images, color, and words to help you reflect on your emotions, thoughts, and inner experiences. In therapy, it becomes a powerful tool for exploring what might be hard to say with words. It’s gentle, creative, and entirely guided by you.

Question 4

What type of therapy do you offer?

Accepted Answer

I use a blend of talk therapy and creative expression, depending on your needs. My work is grounded in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), expressive arts therapy, and trauma-informed approaches. I also draw from Adlerian, person-centered, and narrative therapy lenses to meet you where you are.

Question 5

How much does it cost and do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

The cost for a 55-minute session is $130. I do offer a sliding scale for those who need financial flexibility. I accept several insurance plans including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, Optum, Oscar, and UnitedHealthcare. I partner with Headway to handle billing and scheduling for insurance clients.

Question 6

How do I know if this is the right fit for me?

Accepted Answer

If you're feeling unsure, that's okay. Therapy is a personal journey, and finding the right fit matters. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect, answer your questions, and see if my approach feels like a good match for your needs.
