Message to clients

I help young adults in Maryland find the reasons, motivators, and tools to keep going without ignoring the environmental and societal impacts that are out of their control.

My clients struggle as you do. Despite being hardworking, talented, and personable, being human is hard.

When they first come in, they feel ashamed of what they feel they aren’t able to do. They experience overwhelming negative or fearful thoughts about themselves, the world, limitations, and life in general. They worry they may always feel stuck, hopeless, and unfulfilled.

This cycle gets in the way of the life they want to have and the person they want to be, and they question their identity and existence. They feel like they’re failing at life, within their relationships, and themselves.

Like my clients, you deserve to have a better relationship with yourself, your thoughts, your body, and the world around you. Identifying, expressing, and meeting your needs is not out of reach. Emily believes that artistic exploration and expression in art therapy can help people understand their emotional conflicts, reduce stress and anxiety, and provide the tools and skills necessary to aid in the restoration of healthy functioning. If you’re ready to do the work, I’d love to assist you in exploring and reading the message of your emotions so you can feel capable of meeting your needs and accomplishing your goals.
