Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative expression alongside conversation to support emotional processing, self-understanding, and healing. You do not need any art experience to benefit from it.
Not at all. Art therapy is not about making something polished or “good.” It is about using creativity as a way to explore feelings, reduce overwhelm, and connect more deeply with yourself.
Art therapy includes space for both talking and creating. Sometimes words are enough, and sometimes images, color, or movement can help express what feels hard to say directly. The process can offer another way to understand emotions and experiences.
I work with adults who may be feeling burnt out, emotionally overloaded, disconnected, anxious, or stuck. My practice is especially supportive for people who are outwardly functioning but internally feeling overwhelmed, numb, or uncertain.
Art therapy can support people dealing with burnout, anxiety, overwhelm, stress, emotional disconnection, and existential questions. It can also help with self-expression, nervous system regulation, and creating more space for reflection and healing.

The initial consultation is a chance for us to briefly talk about what is bringing you in, what you are hoping for, and whether working together feels like a good fit. It is also a space for you to ask questions about the process.
I offer both in-person and virtual sessions. In-person sessions take place at my Rochester office, and art supplies are provided. If you are meeting virtually, we can talk about simple ways to make the creative process accessible from home.
Individual sessions are $150, and group sessions are $50. I accept Cigna, work with Mentaya for out-of-network benefits, and also offer self-pay options.
I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations. If a session is canceled with less than 48 hours’ notice or missed entirely, the full session fee is charged.
Getting started is simple. The process usually begins with initial contact, followed by a consultation, an intake session, and then your first therapy session. If you are interested in working together, you can reach out to schedule a consultation.
