Accepting New Clients

Talia offers a warm, empathetic space where clients are invited to engage in deep self-discovery and personal growth. Her therapeutic approach is rooted in a culturally reflexive framework, honoring each client’s unique identities, lived experiences, and the larger social contexts that shape them. Talia encourages curiosity and intuition as a pathway to insight and change, drawing on the transformative power of creativity, play, and art-making to support healing, build resilience, and shift long-held patterns. Integrating emotion-focused, person-centered approaches with somatic strategies, she helps clients attune to how emotions are held and expressed in the body—fostering deeper awareness, connection, and integration.

Insurance Talia can accept

“Art therapy invites us to tune into the textures, feelings, and patterns within ourselves and in the world around us in new and meaningful ways. Becoming embodied in our creativity allows us to discover nuances in ourselves that we may not have realized existed otherwise.”

This picture is something that matters to me

Walking around while looking for shapes, colors, textures, and objects that strike me as interesting, odd, or beautiful, allows me to practice presence. As an art therapist, I see this kind of visual attention as a form of attunement—not only to the outer world but to my inner landscape. When I allow myself to be porous to what I see, I feel alive and connected to my environment. This way of seeing fuels my creativity and serves as my primary source of inspiration as both artist and therapist.
