About My Clients

If you are: feeling stuck and misunderstood; experiencing paralyzing overthinking and self-doubt; have always felt different from others (skin color, culture, the way your brain works); not feeling “good enough” in your family and communities (i.e. Church, friends, etc.); and have a difficult time feeling worthy enough of love and care... then this space is for you.

My Background and Approach

You've come to a point where you feel stuck and misunderstood. You experience paralyzing overthinking and self-doubt. You feel different from all your peers. Labels you've heard are "anxious, slow, hyper." You have had trouble embracing your skin color/culture, your brain, and your faith. You have not felt “good enough” in your family and communities (i.e. Church, friends, etc.). And you have a difficult time feeling worthy enough of love and care. I am a first-generation Colombian-American. I always felt that I didn’t fit in. Everything about me was different and I was deemed “too slow” and lazy. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned I was neurodivergent. Being diagnosed helped me to understand myself. I have been learning to offer myself grace and love through faith and artistic expression. I want to help people find their voice, tell their stories, and love themselves amid the chaos of life. Art therapy is for when words aren’t enough to express our experiences.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe YOU are the expert of your life. I am a mere sounding board and resource to guide you through difficult moments and conversations. But at the end of the day, YOU have what it takes to find the light in the darkness. We may have many stages of life to go through, but each stage brings new opportunities to learn, grow, and ultimately heal. Everyone's journey is different. You are unique and what works for one person may not work for another. And you cannot put a time limit on it. It is a daily practice. I do believe that if we at least try, that is enough. Don't give up. Let’s find healing differently, creatively, together.
