I am both an art therapist and licensed professional counselor in private practice in Silver Spring, MD. I work mostly online and am also licensed in Washington, DC and Virginia, I see adults with trauma, with family relationships problems, and with couples issues. The clients I work with present a wide range of concerns from a need for support, to seeking personal growth, to manifesting serious mental health problems. Before entering private practice, I directed an art therapy department in a large army medical center where military members and their families were hospitalized for emotional disorders.
I am holistic in my approach, and believe you are the expert on your needs and what works for you. I have experience in a variety of theoretical viewpoints including psychodynamic, attachment, embodied trauma, and Jungian treatments. I have co-authored a book on Art Therapy with Diverse Populations and edited a second book on Art Therapy in the Military.
Please fell free to get in touch with me if you are interested in the services I offer or if you have any questions. A brief conversation will help us to decide whether to pursue an online meeting or to begin therapy.
