Online Integrative Art Therapy for Women in California
If you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, or the lasting effects of painful experiences, therapy can offer space to understand what is happening beneath the surface. In our online sessions, we may use conversation, art materials you already have, and body awareness to explore familiar patterns and practice new ways of responding. There is always room to talk when that is what you need. No art experience is required.

Each session builds on what we have explored together while making room for what matters to you that day. I may bring up themes from earlier sessions, and we decide together whether conversation, grounding, art, guided imagery, or IFS-informed parts work would be helpful.
For example, you might bring in a conversation you’ve been replaying, wondering whether you said the wrong thing. We could pause to notice what happens in your body, then use colors or shapes to give the self-critical voice a form. As we look at it together, we can get curious about what that part is trying to protect and what it might need. Practicing this in session can create a little more space and compassion, so you have more choice in how you respond when the worry returns.
Some sessions are mostly conversation. When we use art, we work with materials you already have at home.
Moving Toward More Ease and Choice.
What Art Can Help Us Notice
Sometimes an experience is hard to explain, even when you have spent a lot of time thinking about it. A few colors, lines, or shapes can give it a form we can look at together. That little bit of distance may make it easier to notice feelings or patterns with curiosity instead of shame.
I offer prompts based on what comes up in our conversation. As you create, I’ll ask what stands out to you rather than assume what your artwork means. We can follow what you notice, whether it leads to new words, a shift in how you feel, or a different way to approach something outside our session.
You can show me your artwork on camera or share a photo so we can look at the details together.
What Change Can Feel Like
Change can begin during a session. You may feel lighter as something that was tangled starts to make sense, see a familiar problem from a new perspective, or find a kinder way to respond to yourself. We can pause and notice what feels different, so you have an experience to return to when the old pattern shows up again.
Between sessions, we look for where that shift appears in daily life. Perhaps you catch an anxious loop sooner, recover more easily after a hard conversation, or make a choice that honors your needs. We’ll revisit the goals that brought you here and shape our work around what is helping and what still feels difficult.
Christian Faith Integration, at Your Request
Your faith may be a source of comfort, questions, or both. If you would like to include it in therapy, we can make room for prayer, Scripture reflection, and art prompts that help you explore what you are carrying in your relationship with God. There is room for grief, anger, doubt, or painful experiences connected to faith without rushing toward an easy answer.
For example, you might use color or imagery to explore a part of you that longs to trust and another that feels weary. We can look at what emerges with compassion and consider what support you need. You decide whether faith is part of our sessions and how we include it.

Sessions are 75 minutes to allow for deeper, trauma-informed work that creates lasting change - not surface-level symptom management. Each session is $195. This extended time gives us space to slow down, process fully, and honor the emotional work you’re doing.
To make this more accessible without compromising the depth of support, I offer sessions every other week (bi-weekly). This gives you time to integrate insights and practices between sessions while staying consistently supported.
