The frequency of therapy depends on your goals and individual needs. Many people begin with weekly sessions to build momentum, then transition to bi-weekly or monthly sessions as they progress. Together, we'll decide on a pace that feels supportive and sustainable for you.

What will my first session be like?
Think of the first session as a conversation. We'll spend time getting to know one another, exploring what has brought you here, and discussing what you're hoping for. There's no expectation to make art right away—together, we'll find an approach that feels comfortable and supportive for you.
Do you offer services Internationally?
Yes! I offer online Therapeutic Art Workshops and Non-clinical Art Therapy.
What does non-clinical mean?
Due to the international relationship I will not assume the role of Therapist but instead offer you therapeutic art experiences as additional support to mental health resources you access in your home country
