I understand health as a living, ever-shifting balance. My approach supports the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of each person, and can work alongside—and complement—conventional health care. I offer services for people of all ages and stages of life—from toddlers and children to teens and adults, and those in palliative care— especially during times of stress, transition, challenge, or change.

 

As every person and their biography is unique, every client path is unique. While there is very little talking involved during sessions, working artistically is intimate and requires trust. Initial engagement begins with a phone call, in which I take time to understand each client’s life story and the challenges that have brought them to art therapy. During this time, the client can get to know me to see if it feels like a good fit. From there, I thoughtfully propose artistic and/or sensorimotor art approaches that will best support their individual needs and goals. Because Clay Field Therapy is profoundly effective for addressing both single event and complex trauma, and many body-based and emotional challenges, I often recommend that clients ages 2-18 begin by working in the Clay Field.

My intention is to make therapeutic arts sessions available to everyone who needs them. I offer a sliding scale of $60–$120 per session. Please choose a rate that reflects your current financial picture. If you are able to pay toward the higher end of the scale, it helps support community members who cannot—and allows me to continue offering this work sustainably. If you need to pay less right now, please do. Your presence and needs are valued just as much. Fees include all artistic materials, prep time, a 40-60 minute session, and cleanup time----with Clay Field, this can take up to one additional hour. ​I accept cash, Venmo, PayPal, ApplePay, and credit card; I am unable to accept insurance at this time. ​​
