Inividual Therapy
My Approach
In sessions, I utilize my training as a psychotherapist plus my creative, artistic background to facilitate healing, to encourage growth, and to increase a sense of self worth in those with whom I work. While many of my clients engage in Creative Arts Therapy with me, some choose to utilize more traditional verbal therapies in sessions. I have extensive training in both verbal and non verbal approaches. Treatment plans and tools that are introduced are based on individual needs and goals.

Time Investment
Individual sessions are approximately 50 minutes in duration. At first, I typically recommend holding sessions once per week in order to develop goals and build the therapeutic rapport. After some time, I reassess this frequency based on individual needs. Usually I see individuals for anywhere between three months to several years. Sometimes we take breaks and resume sessions when extra support is needed. The way in which we use our time together, the frequency with which we meet, and the goals that we develop together depend on your needs.
Telehealth
Currently I am conducting sessions both in-person and via Telehealth from my office in Portland. I utilize the Simple Practice platform which is HIPPA compliant. My clients that utilize this platform have the responsibility of being in a confidential location and having stable internet access.
We will get through this together!
