Do you or your child struggle to express thoughts and feelings to others?
You may identify as a daydreamer: someone who often gets lost in their thoughts or experiences, finding it difficult to focus or communicate effectively. Many of us, especially adults, resonate with symptoms of ADHD or autism without ever receiving a formal diagnosis.

Being a daydreamer can be a beautiful way to engage with the world, but it can also lead to feelings of frustration, isolation, or being misunderstood. You might find yourself drifting into your imagination during conversations, feeling overwhelmed by the outside world, or struggling to stay grounded in the present.

As an art therapist, my goal is to create a nurturing space where these unique experiences can be explored and celebrated!

adult daydreamers: art therapy for your inner child

If you’re navigating the unique challenges of ADHD or autism in adulthood, you’re not alone. Many adults share this experience, and art therapy could be the transformative journey you’ve been searching for. It offers a welcoming space where you can explore your identity and emotions freely, unlocking parts of yourself that have long been hidden. Through creative activities, you’ll reconnect with your inner child and rediscover your voice.

Societal stigma often surrounds neurodivergence, affecting how we view ourselves. In the art therapy room, we become aware of the messages from the world, our upbringing, and what we were taught in school. Together, we’ll address these inner beliefs and use art-making to reflect on your experiences. This process helps you advocate for understanding the many parts of yourself and standing up for your needs.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, but art therapy equips you with practical tools for emotional regulation and stress reduction. As you create, you’ll find solace and clarity, allowing your feelings to flow and your mind to quiet. This isn’t just about making art; it’s about building resilience and developing self-care practices that empower you to navigate life with confidence.

Art therapy provides valuable support for individuals with ADHD and autistic people, offering a creative outlet that fosters self-expression and personal growth. By embracing their unique perspectives, art therapy helps them explore their identities, manage emotions, and develop essential coping skills in a safe and nurturing environment.

embrace your unique voice through art

For many neurodiverse individuals, traditional verbal communication can be a challenge. Art offers a powerful alternative for expressing thoughts and emotions in ways that words alone may not capture. Whether through art, writing, or music, creative self-expression provides a meaningful outlet to share your unique personality, interests, and perspectives.

Art therapy isn’t just about creating: it’s about connecting. For those with autism or ADHD, engaging in creative activities can be a therapeutic way to process and express emotions, reducing anxiety and frustration. It also serves as a bridge to connect with others who share similar experiences and passions, fostering deeper, more meaningful relationships.

My mission is to support neurodiverse individuals with empathy, respect, and a deep appreciation for your unique journey. I am dedicated to creating a nurturing space where creativity thrives and personal growth is celebrated. I love working with individuals of all ages across Maryland virtually and in-person in Baltimore County.
