Kippy's clients say:

Kippy’s reliable, rock-steady approach helps me feel safe in the expressive arts therapeutic work.

I have felt changes in my perspective and my actions that never happened for me in the various types of cognitive therapy that I’d done previously.

Kippy provides a rich environment where I can follow my own creative instincts towards healing as she gently guides me towards deeper insight and integration.
