SOMETIMES WORDS AREN’T ENOUGH
You may understand why you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, and still find yourself repeating the same patterns.
Insight matters, but healing does not always happen through words alone.
Our experiences live not only in the stories we tell, but also in our bodies, relationships, emotions, and the roles we have learned to play. Therapy can offer a space to explore all of these parts of you.
I weave together talk therapy, drama therapy, psychodrama, and attachment-focused EMDR to help you understand what is happening beneath the surface, process experiences that may be difficult to put into words, and discover new ways of responding.
You will never be pushed to perform or be creative in a particular way. We will work collaboratively, at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
You do not need to know exactly what kind of therapy you need before reaching out. We can begin by talking about what is bringing you here and what kind of support might feel right.

Therapy Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know which kind of therapy I want?
Not at all. Many people reach out knowing that something needs attention but not knowing which approach would be most helpful. During our initial consultation and early sessions, we will talk about what you are experiencing and decide together how we might work.
Do I need to be creative or have acting experience?
No. You do not need any experience in acting, theater, or the arts. Creative and experiential techniques are invitations, not requirements. The work is adapted to your comfort, interests, and needs.
Will we still talk during therapy?
Absolutely. Talk therapy is an important part of my work. Creative approaches, psychodrama, and EMDR give us additional ways to explore when talking feels limited, when you feel stuck, or when an experience is difficult to put into words.
Will I have to participate in every group activity?
No. Choice and consent are central to the work. You will be encouraged to remain engaged with the group, but engagement can take different forms. We will work together to find ways for you to participate without forcing you beyond what feels safe or appropriate.
What is the difference between drama therapy and psychodrama?
Drama therapy is a broad therapeutic approach that can include storytelling, role-play, improvisation, movement, metaphor, performance, and other creative processes.
Psychodrama is a specific action method in which experiences, relationships, or inner conflicts are explored through guided enactment. I draw from both approaches and tailor the work to the needs of each person or group.
Is EMDR only for major trauma?
No. EMDR can support people with many different experiences, including anxiety, grief, relationship wounds, negative self-beliefs, distressing memories, and patterns that continue to feel emotionally charged. We will carefully assess whether EMDR is appropriate for you.
Will I have to tell you every detail of what happened during EMDR?
Not necessarily. EMDR does not always require you to describe every detail aloud. We will discuss what you need in order to feel safe and supported, and you will remain in control of what you choose to share.
How long does therapy take?
There is no single timeline that is right for everyone. Some people come to therapy for focused support around a particular concern, while others choose longer-term work. We will talk openly about your goals and revisit the direction of therapy as our work develops.
Are sessions virtual or in person?
Individual psychotherapy is currently offered virtually and group therapy is in person.
What is your fee for therapy?
The fee for an individual 45-minute psychotherapy session is $275. Fees for groups and extended therapy intensives vary according to their structure and length and will be clearly provided before you commit. Sliding scales are available.
Do you accept insurance for therapy?
I do not accept insurance directly. I provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Because plans vary, I recommend contacting your insurer to ask about your specific out-of-network mental health benefits.
What is your cancellation policy?
Because your appointment time is reserved specifically for you, at least 48 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule an individual session. Sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged the full fee.
How do I know if you are the right therapist for me?
The therapeutic relationship matters. An initial consultation gives us both an opportunity to consider whether my style, experience, and approaches feel aligned with what you need. You are welcome to ask questions about the process, and I will be honest about whether I believe I can be helpful.
Taking the First Step
You do not need to know which approach is right for you before reaching out. You also do not need to arrive with a perfect explanation of what is wrong.
The first step is an initial consultation. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what is bringing you to therapy, what kind of support you are looking for, and whether individual therapy, group therapy, EMDR, or a therapy intensive may be the best fit.
It is also a chance for you to ask questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right. If I am not the best person to support you, I will be honest about that and, whenever possible, help point you toward other resources.
