Olivia (she/her) is a Licensed Graduate Professional Art Therapist with a Master’s in Art Therapy from Notre Dame of Maryland University. She is deeply passionate about finding interconnectedness and meaning through the creative process, each other, and the earth we belong to. She has worked in group practice, intensive outpatient, and inpatient settings. She has experience supporting people with a wide range of diagnoses, including mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, personality disorders, schizoaffective disorders and more. Her current focus is adolescents (13+) and adults, with an emphasis on the LGBTQ+ community.

As an art psychotherapist, her expertise is in using a wide array of materials and processes to help explore what is and what could be in your life.

Drawing from a liberation and person-centered framework, she is passionate about working collaboratively with you as the expert of your own experience, considering both your internal world and the systems that shape your identity.

You don’t need to consider yourself an artist to benefit from art therapy! Together, you’ll use the creative process to practice coping skills, explore emotions and choices, engage with metaphor, practice self-soothing, develop somatic awareness, and build resiliency.
