HI, LOVES

I am a practicing creative art therapist, artist and art educator who holds an MPS in Art Therapy and Creativity Development from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, as well as an ATR (Registered Art Therapist) by the Art Therapy Credentials Board, Inc. and LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in Washington state.

I have recently relocated to the Philadelphia area and am in the process of attaining state license reciprocity in Pennsylvania. Until then, I continue to offer art therapy support via telehealth to Washington state clients through my own private practice as well as BetterHelp.

I’m here to offer:


Recent Collaboration:

Seattle Art Museum and Seattle Public Schools via The Creative Advantage

I was honored to co-facilitate a teacher professional development at the Asian Art Museum to explore modalities utilized in #arttherapy for teachers to better connect with their students! Thanks for the opportunity!


Previous Offerings:

Our 2025 art group will begin meeting every Second Sunday for Open Studio, meeting in-person at 1403ArtSpace in Seattle. For January, this means Sunday, 1/12 1-2pm (or longer, if we need it!). If you have an idea of what you’d like to work on, feel free to bring art materials, otherwise I will get you started!

Ages 12+. RSVP by emailing liftholdheal@gmail.com

Cost: $50pp via Venmo @liftholdheal.


Ongoing Offerings:

Personal almost-daily art-making, card pulls and morning pages (i.e. stream of conscious journalling) for healthy expression, release, and to raise self/other-awareness. Currently card pull posts are made on BlueSky and art directives shared on Lift Hold Heal Instagram. Pre-recorded art-making sessions can be viewed on Make with Jae Facebook Group as well as on YouTube. Community contributions welcome!
