Professional Endorsements & Testimonials
These words from colleagues, supervisors, and past supervisees reflect the kind of presence I bring into therapeutic and professional spaces! My goal is to provide compassionate, grounded, creative, and deeply dedicated support. I’m grateful for the community that continues to shape and support my work.
“I joined Kristy's studio supervision group with the hopes of increasing my supervision hours and gaining some creative tips for working with my clients. After working with Kristy for a few months, I learned so much more than I originally intended and even though I never considered myself a creative person prior to this group, my understanding of creativity expanded week by week. I came out of each session with an open mind, a curiosity, and new ways to be creative in my sessions. Kristy created a space where we could work through our current issues and support other group members and I am grateful to have been a part of her group. I would absolutely recommend studio supervision with Kristy for any therapists, regardless of whether you are an art therapist or not.”

"I had the pleasure of attending a supervision group led by Kristy while working towards my LCPC. It was a wonderful experience. I loved the mixture of art making, clinical consultation and group discussion. Kristy is well organized, responsive and knowledgeable. She provided a supportive and safe environment to learn and explore. I highly recommend for anyone looking to join a fun and informative supervision group!"

"I entered Kristy's group supervision while I was an LGPC. Kristy does an amazing job of providing supervisions that are valuable for both art therapists and counselors. I never considered myself an artist, but with Kristy' guidance, I was able to connect with my own creative strengths. I am now able to build rapport and connect with clients in new creative ways. Additionally, Kristy is extremely knowledgeable as a counselor and has helped me through difficult situations ranging from clinical matters to navigating the bureaucracy of licensing. I highly recommend her group supervisions!"

Licensed Art Therapist and Board Approved Supervisor in Maryland
I feel immense joy in the work I do and believe that therapy, in all its forms, is a deeply personal and transformative journey. I’m committed to a somatic and anti-oppressive approach that honors each individual's unique experience while creating a space of safety, compassion, and empowerment.
I see value in working in multiple roles (whether as a therapist, supervisor, workshop leader, or community volunteer) because it enriches my understanding and keeps me grounded. Being involved in a variety of capacities allows me to stay well-rounded and better serve those I work with. My commitment to joy, authenticity, and healing is at the core of every session, consultation, and interaction I have.
If you’re looking to add someone to your team— whether as a therapist, mentor, supervisor— know that I am here to support you, your family, your practice, and your vision every step of the way.
