Can we talk before I sign up?
Yes! I offer a free Connection Call via video or phone to ask any questions about working together.
How much do sessions cost?
Sessions range depending on what services your are seeking. You can find a break down of my fees here : Fees
How often should I come?
This depends on your goals. I recommend weekly sessions to begin so we can set a strong foundation to launch from then transition to every two weeks for slower sustained progress and monthly for maintenance. Some clients transition after reaching their goals to reconnecting during times of need or stress.

Your first session will focus on creating an environment where we explore with different tools, ask questions and build relationship with each other. It is important to explore and find the right modality and therapist for you.
Do you offer services Internationally?
Yes! I offer online Therapeutic Art Workshops and Non-clinical Art Therapy1:1.
