Since 2019, I have facilitated therapeutic art-making in a range of contexts, from drawing sessions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to small studio-based groups, community craft gatherings, and one-on-one work within my psychotherapy practice. Across these settings, the through-line is attention.

Focus and grounding become active tools for regulation and repair.

Informed by principles from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practice, I integrate weaving and drawing into psychotherapy as methods of stabilization and embodied regulation. The repetitive, tactile structure of fiber and line supports sustained attention, distress tolerance, and sensory awareness.

​

Within my current practice, I also lead group sessions titled Making as Mindfulness, where participants engage material processes such as drawing, weaving and crochet to cultivate focus, deepen reflective capacity, and reconnect with the body through structured, hands-on work.
