She/Her; Art Therapy Intern

Currently a second-year graduate student in the Art Therapy program at Notre Dame of Maryland University, holding a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Building on several years as an art instructor for children and adolescents, I also bring clinical internship experience working with individuals across the lifespan, with a focus on trauma-informed care, grief work, and family therapy. I am comfortable guiding clients through a wide variety of art materials, with consideration of the creative process to each person's comfort level with visual expression.

Art therapy offers another language—one where the heart and soul speak, and the mind listens. Moving beyond any expectation of skill or performance, the creative process invites you to explore your inner landscape in a supportive space dedicated to reflection and self-expression. My approach integrates modalities such as person-centered and expressive arts therapy, rooted in the firm belief that care is never "one size fits all." I focus on creating a welcoming, authentic space where you can show up as you are, allowing us to collaborate on goals toward a balance of clarity, connection, and confidence. While healing isn't a rigid, step-by-step path, I am here to walk alongside you, supporting whatever first steps feel right for your journey.
