About My Clients
I work with adults, teens, and children who may be thoughtful and insightful but still feel stuck. Clients come with anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or the impact of serious or chronic illness. Some seek art therapy specifically; others prefer to talk and appreciate having another way to work when words or insight alone aren’t enough.
My Background and Approach
I’m a licensed, board-certified art therapist with 15 years of experience, including nearly a decade at Children’s National Hospital. My approach is relational, depth-oriented, and experiential. Therapy may be entirely conversational, or we can use art-making, imagery, metaphor, and other experiential approaches when useful. You never need to be artistic, and art is never required.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people are more complicated than a diagnosis or set of symptoms. Patterns that seem irrational often make more sense when we understand what they have been protecting or adapting to. Good therapy makes room for contradiction, ambivalence, humor, and uncertainty. It should deepen understanding while also making a meaningful difference in how you live.
