For almost two decades I worked as a psychologist, wellness coach, and public health consultant in a wide range of settings including private practice, pediatric oncology, maternal health, and community-based public health initiatives. My training began in Colombia, where I worked with individuals and families whose lives had been profoundly affected by civil war, displacement, violence, and loss. These experiences shaped not only my work , but also my understanding of resilience and our need for genuine care and  connection. 

​

Alongside my work in mental health, creativity has always been an essential part of my own life. Over the years, I have cultivated a variety of creative skills to support others in bringing their  inner worlds to life. I'm also a long-time portrait photographer and sewist. 

​

Perhaps the most important lesson I learned during years of trauma work is that healing requires more than insight. People need spaces where they can rest- spaces where they feel welcomed, understood, and safe. When we're met with curiosity and genuine engagement  something begins to soften, and new possibilities can emerge.  That's the basic premise of what I do. 

After many years within traditional mental health systems I felt called to create a different kind of space, one that places creativity, connection, and humanity at its center. Here, I bring together my experience as a former clinician, my lifelong love of the arts, and my belief that creative expression can open doors to joy, self-discovery, reflection, and renewal. My hope is to offer a place where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore your inner world with curiosity, compassion,  pride and a sense of endless possibility.
