YOU HANDLE COMPLEX PROBLEMS EVERY DAY —
THERAPY IS WHERE YOU UNPACK THE ONES THAT FOLLOW YOU HOME.
Art Therapy in Olney, MD | Serving Lawyers, Men, Therapists & Busy Professionals Across Maryland & DC
LET’S BE REAL:
You’re competent, capable, and relied on by others.
That doesn’t mean life always feels easy.
I’M AUBREY.
I help busy professionals step out of survival mode and into a life that feels sustainable.
Whether it’s a lifetime of carrying too much or the aftermath of a single event, I’ll walk with you as we explore what keeps you awake at night and begin making space for you to breathe again.
As an Art Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and clinician trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), I support high-achieving adults in the DC Metro area to step back from overfunctioning, rediscover their needs, and give voice to those needs with confidence.
People often assume art therapy attracts artists, but the truth is my clients are the ones managing big lives, big stress, and big responsibilities.

How I work
You’re a high achiever, an over-everythinger, always performing, managing, and fixing.
I help you slow down, make sense of your patterns, and reconnect with the parts of life you’ve been missing.
“High achiever” might not be the first way you’d describe yourself, but if you’re juggling packed schedules, pushing through exhaustion, and still feeling like it’s not enough, you’re in the right place. I often work with adults I affectionately call over-everythingers—people who are overbooked, overwhelmed, overcommitted, overstimulated, overanxious, overinvested, and generally just over it.
Whether you’re leading teams, managing families, or building careers, you’re likely carrying a quiet, relentless pressure to perform, fix, help, and succeed. I offer individual therapy, art therapy, and IFS to help high-achieving adults in MD and DC slow down, reconnect with themselves, and rewrite the rules they’ve been living by.
Even when life looks “together,” challenges still pop up, especially for people who hold themselves to high standards.
In our sessions, we make space to focus on whatever feels most important to you, including:
-
• Feeling overwhelmed by work
-
• Grief, loss, or trying to get through a big life change
-
• Questioning who you are or feeling like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way
-
• Stress in your relationships, whether with a partner, family, or friends
-
• Balancing the demands of parenting with your career
-
• Struggling with how you feel in your body or managing ongoing health issues
-
• Figuring out what feels right for you regarding fertility, pregnancy, or opting out of parenthood
-
• Understanding who you are beneath the roles you perform
-
• Feeling overwhelmed by systemic issues, workplace politics, or the intensity of life in the DC/MD/VA region
What if you could learn to…
-
• face your feelings without drowning in them, or burying them so deep they quietly shape your choices and relationships.
-
• manage anxiety and prevent burnout before it spirals.
-
• set boundaries that actually stick, without constantly overextending yourself.
-
• measure your worth by who you are, not by how much you check off your to-do list.
-
• let yourself slow down without apology and call it care, not laziness.
-
• embrace vulnerability as a strength and use it to build authentic connections.
-
• redefine success on your own terms.
-
Not everyone I work with fits into the specific groups I mention, and that’s okay. If something about my approach or style resonates with you, individual therapy offers a place to slow down and talk through what’s feeling heavy, confusing, or stuck. You might be navigating stress, life changes, relationships, or just wanting to understand yourself better. Together we create a space that feels honest, supportive, and grounded so you can move forward with more clarity and confidence.
-
These individual therapy sessions are tailored to help you understand yourself on a deeper level using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach. Together, we’ll explore the different parts of you—like the driven achiever, the inner critic, or the exhausted caretaker—to create more balance and self-compassion.
-
Individual art therapy sessions offer a creative way to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences when words alone don’t feel like enough. You don’t need to be an artist, just open to using art as a tool for insight, healing, and growth.
-
Therapy for men provides a space to sort through stress, pressure, and expectations without judgment. Whether you’re navigating relationships, career demands, or just trying to feel more like yourself again, therapy can help you reconnect with your values and move forward with clarity.
-
Whether you’re a therapist wanting space to process the stress of the work or you’d rather leave your therapist identity at the door and just be a person in therapy, this space can hold both. Through art therapy and parts work, we’ll focus on caring for you, not your clients, not your roles, just you.
-
Therapy for lawyers navigating high-pressure careers, perfectionism, burnout, and the challenge of switching off. Make space for your emotions, set boundaries without guilt, and build a life that works beyond the job.
-
Clinical supervision is available for LGPC, LGPAT, GPAT, and ATR-P clinicians in Maryland and DC who are working toward licensure and growing their clinical skills. I offer both individual and group supervision focused on thoughtful reflection, practical support, and developing your professional voice. Whether you’re early in training or looking for a steady space to process your work, supervision is collaborative and grounded in real-world practice.
-
If there’s one thing I’ve found over and over again while working with my clients it’s that people are feeling lonely. Group Therapy is a great space for meeting other like-minded, growth-oriented folks in a space designed specifically to foster connection.

“The task of therapy is not to eliminate suffering but to give a voice to it, to find a form in which it can be expressed. Expression is itself transformation; this is the message that art brings.”
