What is Art Therapy?

Art Therapy is the use of the creative process, within the context of a therapeutic relationship, to practice healing or invite growth. I believe art making and creative expression are healing, growth producing processes in and of themselves, not adjunctive to traditional therapy. While reflection on process and product may be part of the work, the emphasis remains on the capacity for therapeutic transformation inherent in giving form to creative expression. 

Furthermore, body knowledge, intuitive wisdom, subjective experience and emotions are expressed and honored as valid ways of knowing, in and of themselves. Rational analysis is not required to validate these ways of knowing.  

What is an NMT Assessment?

The Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics was developed by Dr. Bruce Perry, M.D. at the Child Trauma Academy, now known as the Neurosequential Network. The model takes contemporary (and evolving) knowledge of neurobiology and neurodevelopment and applies it to practical clinical application. The NMT process is an in depth developmental assessment and evaluation of 32 different areas of current central nervous system functioning that helps to develop a ‘picture’ of brain mediated areas of relative strength or deficit. With this information, a detailed set of therapeutic recommendations can be created, that target the specific areas of the brain.

Can I talk to you first, before scheduling?

Of course! I would love to chat and see if it seems like a good fit. You can fill out the contact form to schedule a free 15 minute consult with me. Prefer to jump right in? That is okay too, you can fill out the form to get in touch with me about scheduling.

Do you offer in-person or telehealth?

Both. I offer in person sessions at the Boulder Healing Hub at 1650 38th St #100e, in Boulder. I offer teletherapy sessions through a secure and HIPPA compliant teletherapy platform.

Do you accept private insurance, Medicaid, or EAP?

Currently I can only accept private pay, but I am working on other options!

When are you available?

Right now, I am only available on Fridays from 12:00 to 5:00.
