I graduated from Pratt Institute located in Brooklyn, NY, with a Master's of Professional Studies in Art Therapy and Creativity Development. I currently reside in Queens, NY with my tuxedo cat, Loki. I am a loud and proud queer (she/her) Black woman, of Puerto Rican and Trinidadian ancestry!

Curative Health Plan
I offer out-of-pocket options. Ask me about the sliding scale I offer!
I use Tarot and Astrology as spiritual tools, to aid in healing. This helps open individuals up to bigger possibilities--outside of therapy.
What I Offer
Sessions with me consist of a combination of talk and art psychotherapy.
(I also incorporate non-traditional methods--per request.)
And here is a secret...YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE AN ARTIST TO PARTICIPATE! Our sessions do not always have to involve art making either, these are YOUR sessions and I am here to follow your lead.
Anxiety & Depression Management
Burnout Prevention & Recovery
Support for survivors of family violence.
Assistance on intentional self-care practices.
