I accept Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Optum, and UMH. I am a compassionate, ethical, and enthusiastic counselor. I do not push my ideas on you, but let your ideas develop as we talk. I believe in the power of language to modify our minds (in fact our brains). I will help you find the narrative that best helps you in your life path or journey. I will not judge you, I will offer counseling that considers you as the expert on your own life. With me you will receive radical acceptance

Sex is cool but what if you were able to speak about it freely in an authentically genuine, identity affirming, non judgemental and empathetic space. Perhaps you're trying to combat your internalized shame and societal beliefs of what sex should look like. Maybe you're seeking more self-pleasure and awareness. Are you navigating a new relationship dynamic or trying to combat intrusive thoughts around past sexual truama? You just need a space that is all yours; where you can become empowered to enjoy your life in personal and relational ways.

Expressive Arts Therapists
What happens in expressive arts therapy?
In an expressive arts therapy session, the therapist will provide the space and materials necessary to encourage the client to express themselves creatively. These can include art supplies, musical instruments, a journal, a camera, and more. The therapist offers careful guidance throughout the creative process, often noticing and talking about psychological issues as they arise. Many clients also benefit from the mind-body connection—the physical act of making art can help them feel more grounded and present.
How long does expressive arts therapy take?
An expressive arts therapy session will typically last between 50 minutes and an hour. Group sessions may run longer. Sometimes, a client might only need one or two sessions of expressive arts therapy in conjunction with talk therapy to resolve a psychological issue. Others might find a fixed number of sessions over the course of either weeks or months to be beneficial. The duration depends on the client and their individual needs and goals for therapy.
How does expressive arts therapy help children?
Creativity is an important part of normal child development. Expressive arts therapy proves a safe outlet for child clients to learn to identify their emotions and express them in healthy ways. In expressive arts therapy, children can build their self-esteem, discover more about their personality and strengths, and feel a sense of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic world. This therapeutic approach can be particularly helpful for children with developmental disabilities, autism, ADHD, speech impairments, and other conditions.
What are the limitations of expressive arts therapy?
Sometimes individuals have physical limitations that can affect their ability to express themselves artistically in certain mediums. For example, someone with hearing problems might find it difficult to make music. Sickness and mobility issues can make some types of art physically inaccessible (e.g., sculpting, dancing, etc.). Sometimes, clients are overly skeptical and have trouble letting go and engaging with the creative process. Individuals who require a higher level of care may be better served with other types of therapy.
