Thank you for your interest in referring to The 3 Brushes, LLC. I appreciate all that you do and are doing for your community, clients, and the mental health field. We are aligned in our commitment to our professions and supporting those we serve.

I provide grief and loss-focused art therapy for children, teens, and adults in Gaithersburg and Montgomery County, Maryland. My practice specializes in supporting individuals experiencing grief, bereavement, emotional overwhelm, trauma, and life transitions through a creative, trauma-informed therapeutic approach.

Populations I Serve

About The Practice

The 3 Brushes, LLC is a private art therapy practice founded on the belief that creative expression can serve as a meaningful partner in healing and recovery.

Art therapy integrates psychotherapy with art-making to support emotional expression, self-understanding, reflection, and meaning-making. I work collaboratively with clients to explore the roots of their concerns and support lasting growth and integration.
