I profoundly believe in our innate possibility to heal, to connect and feel alive even after the most extreme circumstances.

​

I believe too, in the power of community as a force founded in reciprocity, where everybody has a voice and ownership of their inner power that comes from our identity, our culture, our heritage, our family stories and the systemic and historical circumstances that surround us.

​

Last but not least, I believe in the arts and its power to hold uncomfortable and challenging, but necessary, conversations to heal as human beings;  finding pride in calling myself a poet.

​

Inspired in these principles, I have been working with children, youth, women and families in community based agencies since 2008 and private practice since 2015. 

​

I have a Masters in Expressive Arts Therapy and hold education in Creative Writing, Systemic Therapy with focus on Community and various trainings in trauma informed body/somatic centered approaches.
