Frequently asked questions.

Do you take insurance?

Yes! I do. I am paneled with Highmark/BCBS, UPMC, Aetna, UHC, Optum and Cigna. I also accept self-pay. Self-pay rates are $175. Sliding scale is an option but openings are minimal.

What age do you work with?

I work with 17+ and up. Although I have a history of working with kids as young as 4, I am now only working with young adults and adults. In this season of my life, I want to work with individuals and not the family unit.

Do I have to be good at art to participate in Art Therapy?

No! In reality, you are already good at art. Art therapy is about the process, the language art provides us, and the opportunity to express ourselves. Art is in the eye of the beholder. Whatever you create is good enough because it’s yours and your language. We use it to help us when words are not enough.

I am a bit afraid of EMDR, will it cause me harm?

EMDR isn’t meant to be harmful though it CAN bring up painful memories and thoughts. I work very specifically in helping you prepare for those moments so if and when they happen, you have the tools and resources to work through it.

What’s the deal with oracle cards?

Like many things in life, oracle cards are another tool. They can provide us a message to support us in our journey, can be fun to look at, help grow our intuition, or offer us a chance to be open minded and curious.
