Online in Colorado
I’m originally from Mexico City, and have felt at home in Boulder, CO for the past years years. I have a a master’s degree from Naropa University in Transpersonal Psychology and Art Therapy. As a contemplative artist, I use art as a way to understand myself, the world around me, and the relationship between the two—placing creativity in service of others.
I’m passionate about rituals and rites of passage, especially during times of challenge and celebration. Additionally I am a cacao facilitator and yoga teacher that has helped me to relate to the body. My approach is mindfulness-based and person-centered. I deeply value creating a space where creativity and expression can be welcomed to explore thoughts, emotions, and sensations with compassionate presence, grounded in the here and now.
When I’m not working, you’ll often find me walking with my dogs, spending time with my family or making art at the studio.
