Break free from the endless maze of overthinking & discover peace through creative healing with Labyrinth Art and Wellness
IN PERSON OUTDOOR THERAPY IN TOWSON & PERRY HALL, MD. ONLINE TELEHEALTH THERAPY IN MARYLAND.
We live in a world filled with uncertainty and emotional turmoil, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and in times like these, it can’t be. I believe healing happens when we step outside the box- quite literally.
My approach integrates art therapy, mental health counseling, and outdoor nature-based techniques to help you reconnect with yourself and heal. Through creative expression, mindful connection, and a compassionate space, we can work together to unlock healing, calm your overactive mind, and help you rediscover inner peace.
I’m Kristy (she/they), the Outdoor Art Therapist, and I believe healing begins when we step outside the box—literally and figuratively. As a compassionate, creative guide, I combine art therapy with the therapeutic power of nature, offering a fresh, dynamic approach to healing. Whether you're navigating emotional challenges, trauma, or a need to reconnect with your authentic self, my approach invites you to explore, create, and grow, at your own pace, in your own unique way.
I offer services both online and in-person—and even outdoors, so you can connect with nature as part of your healing process. Let’s work together to create the peace and emotional resilience you and your loved ones deserve.
Therapy for Your Child
As a parent, you may see your child struggling to express themselves, especially if they’re an overthinker, daydreamer, or navigating their identity. You may be facing sleepless nights dealing with their nightmares or insomnia. Art therapy offers a safe, creative space where they can process emotions, explore their thoughts, and express their true selves—without the pressure of words.
Through creative art therapy interventions to support development and outdoor walk-and-talk therapy, your child will gain coping skills, build resilience, and feel supported in a space that’s affirming of their unique identity, including those in the LGBTQIA community. This holistic approach fosters emotional growth, clarity, and self-acceptance in a nurturing, playful environment.
Therapy for Your Inner Child
Your inner child holds the feelings, memories, and experiences from your early years. Have you ever felt disconnected from your true self or struggled with old patterns that keep resurfacing? Healing your inner child can help you reconnect with the joy, creativity, and strength that may have been buried beneath life’s challenges.
Are you ready to heal those old hurts and embrace the authentic you?
Through creative expression and the calming effects of nature, we’ll work together to rediscover your inner peace, emotional resilience, and self-love.
Creative Art Therapy Interventions: Common Projects I Use in Sessions

Altered Book Making. When creating an altered book in art therapy, we paint over, tear out, and rewrite as a way to process emotions and reclaim our own narratives. I find that the art therapy process feels a lot like the altered book making process—we are taking a story that already exists and transforming it into something that reflects our truth.

Found Poetry Cards. Poetry is everywhere, sometimes you just have to find it. I often use Found Poetry Cards in art therapy sessions and workshops as a way to promote self-expression, healing, and mindfulness!

Inspiration Stones. A grounding tool used in art therapy that can serve as a personal anchor, helping with presence and mindfulness. The act of exchanging them, creating them together, or gifting them fosters support, empathy, and connection.

Somatic Tracing. This project blends somatic awareness, mindfulness, and creative expression by using tracing as a gentle, embodied practice. Instead of just outlining nature objects visually, we engage with them through touch, noticing sensations, textures, and the body’s responses as we create. This deepens body awareness, presence, and grounding through art.

Pinback Buttons. Wearable art for expression and empowerment. Each button carries a message that shares a piece of your identity and story for others to see. I love using this art therapy activity with all ages, since it's great for community building, creative activism, and a form of artwork that travels with you as a reminder of your strength.

Collage Journaling. Using paper collage journaling as a tool for self-discovery and overcoming perfectionism is a great way to embrace creativity without fear. In art therapy, we tear, layer, and arrange—allowing intuition to guide us rather than expectations.

Mixed-Media Vision Board. In art therapy, we can explore vision boarding as a tool for empowerment, intention-setting, and emotional expression.

Mindfulness Watercolor Painting. Slow down, connection, and expression: using watercolors can encourage a sense of flow, presence, and letting go of perfection. I love to use this in both art therapy sessions and therapeutic arts workshops.

Junk Journaling. I love encouraging this project to repurpose scraps—old book pages, ticket stubs, fabric, and found materials—into layered visual stories of resilience, identity, and self-expression. Junk journaling is enhancing awareness and using the tools we have in our environment to make something new.
