Expressive Arts Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Do you feel unleashed potential deep within that you have not yet been able to manifest? Do you wish to dive deeper into your therapy process? Are you seeking deep, inner healing, rather than just symptom management? Is your inner artist, writer, musician, inner-child, explorer, or wanderer longing for release from within? If so, you may have found your place here. With nearly 20 years of experience in mental health, I specialize in helping you heal from wounded childhood attachment, pre-verbal trauma, life change and transition, depression, anxiety, and stress. I welcome fellow humans, travelers, and aliens alike, ages 5 and up.

Are you a person who loves to dance, sing, write poetry, act, and draw/paint/or create, but you are also in need of mental health therapy? Are you a person who is aware of what's wrong with you, but struggles to express yourself? Are you experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, relationship issues, and more? If so, then Unconscious Art Space is the right place for you. I use a multi-modal approach when counseling my clients. This technique allows my clients to express and explore their issues in various ways while simultaneously healing themselves.

Whether you are looking for psychodynamic music therapy, mindfulness and music-facilitated relaxation, music-based pain management, or want to explore new avenues for self-expression, releasing emotional tensions or process your issues in a creative way, it is my belief that each person has innate self-healing potential, and as a music therapist, I serve as a collaborator with my clients in alleviating distress, gaining insight, and re-contextualizing experiences to find validation, peace, and even joy in the musical healing space. Especially when finding the words or speaking is difficult or painful music can help heal our emotions

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated from University of Southern California in 2015. I currently primarily provide therapeutic support to children with a variety of emotional and social needs. I have experience working with children and families within the child welfare system as well as working with clients with a variety of needs and diagnoses in their schools, homes, communities, and inpatient settings. I have more than eight years of experience supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities, as well as their families.

Let's explore different ways to reach your goal(s) and which aligns best with you and the future you seek to build. One might not be able to see their blind spots, but knows and acknowledges that they are there, and will grow to trust that I will help make them visible in a way that leads to the end goal they are after. My hope is that as we do the work together, you will find healing, understanding, or the goal you are seeking. You will strive to communicate with me (and themselves) honestly and openly throughout the ebbs and flows of the process in a safe environment and celebrated.

I am a queer, nonbinary transmasculine human that uses he/they pronouns. My practice is devoted to creative and collaborative work within a safe and non-threatening environment. I am a clinically trained art therapist and counselor who uses an individualized and trauma-informed approach. I specialize in navigating issues that impact children and adolescents, such as depression, anxiety, risky or self-harming behaviors, stress, ADHD, gender identity, and difficult life transitions. I have experience working in an intensive outpatient setting and now practice individual child and adolescent therapy in a general outpatient setting.

Now Accepting New Clients (2023): The stressors of modern living create noisy interference in the “telephone line” to our highest self (often called the soul, spirit, unified field, universal consciousness, etc.). Through my intuitive psychotherapy practice, I cast my mystical gifts through the lens of my expertise as a licensed clinical social worker. Marrying the two allows for optimum balance between divine clarity and therapeutic processing and integration work. Clients benefit on a soul level while remaining anchored in practical application tools for everyday living.

A chronic illness, life-altering injury, or significant loss can challenge the development and psychosocial well-being of a child and cause lasting trauma if not appropriately and intentionally addressed. With my support and guidance, children and families practice coping techniques to navigate their "new normal," engage in legacy-building and memory-making activities to facilitate healthy grief responses, learn about their diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment through medical play and education, and feel empowered to advocate for themselves in stressful medical situations.

My approach to psychotherapy is holistic and feminist. I believe that mind, body, spirit, community, culture, and institutions are all essentially interwoven into the issues that we face. I don’t think that anyone is broken, and I don’t think that therapy is about fixing yourself. Instead, I believe that people get stuck in undesirable patterns, and therapy is an opportunity to discover new, flexible approaches to outdated ways of relating with ourselves and others. At this time, I am available for working individually with adults, particularly those suffering from depression, anxiety, and trauma-related issues.

I believe that mutual trust and respect take time to develop, providing the foundation for a successful therapeutic relationship. You are the expert of your own life. I am not here to tell you who to become. I am here to provide you with the necessary tools to guide and support you on your own path.
