Art Therapy for Grief, Loss, and Emotional Healing in Gaithersburg, MD
Helping children, teens, and adults navigate grief, trauma, and life transitions through compassionate, trauma-informed art therapy.
You Don’t Have to Put Your Grief Into Words, Loss Can Be Expressed
Grief can be overwhelming
The experience of loss and emotional pain is not something to rush through or “fix” —especially when words are not enough or when words don’t fully capture what you’re experiencing.
Art therapy offers a different way to process what is happening. Through creative expression and guided therapeutic support, we work with thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be difficult to describe.
This is not about creating art that is “good”. Art therapy is about expression, meaning-making, and emotional support in a therapeutic relationship and process.

Art therapy treatment is tailored to your needs and pace.
I am an art therapist working in private practice. I provide one-on-one in-person sessions and support for kids, teens, and adults.
Art serves as a strong partner in recovery. The act of creating art provides the means for genuine self-expression in difficult times.
I am invested in my clients’ emotional and mental health needs by using art therapy and the creative process to focus on holistic outcomes.
We work together to resolve the underlying distress of loss, integrate grief as a different life opportunity that offers meaning and purpose, and lessen the overwhelm of living with grief.

I am the owner of The 3 Brushes, LLC, and the sole art therapist. I earned my Master of Arts in Art Therapy from George Washington University in 2017. Curious about what the letters behind my name mean? No worries, LCPAT verifies I am a licensed practicing art therapist in Maryland, and the ATR-BC® verifies I am a board-certified art therapist.
When I’m not hiking, kayaking, or creating art in my studio, I love spending time with the people I care about. My roots are in Colorado, and I enjoy spending time outside and connecting with nature. I have journeyed and resided in multiple locations across the US. I also find great fulfillment in volunteering locally and engaging in sustainability efforts. e
