She earned her dual-Master’s degree in Art Therapy and Counseling from The George Washington University, after completing her B.A. in Psychology from the University of Dallas.

Adrienne is passionate about healing the wounds of war and is continuing to investigate the neuroscience behind art therapy and trauma.
