Welcome!

I’m an art therapist with over a decade of experience, Latin dance enthusiast, and nature lover here to help you discover a deeper love and understanding of yourself through the transformative powers of creative expression.

My approach combines art therapy, mindfulness, earth wisdom, and somatic mind-body techniques. No prior artistic experience is needed—I’ll be with you every step of the way. Together, we’ll begin to uncover and release inner limitations, allowing you to live a more authentic and meaningful life.
