I am a Venezuelan-Canadian queer woman of colour with lived experience of migration. I work from an evolving feminist, anti-oppression, sex-positive and poly-affirming framework. Gently and bravely understanding and unpacking the impacts of systemic and colonial structures on the constructs of identity and mental health is crucial for the work that we will do together.  As an uninvited settler living and practicing in T’koronto, I am thankful to the current and historic stewards of the Dish With One Spoon Territory and honour the responsibility to continue to be in solidarity with Indigenous peoples and to educate myself in how I can contribute to the protection of this territory and Turtle Island at large.

I received my  Expressive Arts Therapy certificate from the Create Institute and I have a Masters in Dance (York University) and a Bachelor in Urban Planning (University of Toronto). I have worked with: women, families and children fleeing interpersonal violence; queer communities navigating identity and exclusion; harm-reduction/substance use; and with immigrant populations navigating settlement processes. My practice is trauma-based and rooted in the fundamentals of the client being the expert of their lived experiences.

Creativity, curiosity and compassionate care are at the core of my practice. When journeying through difficult experiences, art becomes a powerful friend for the courageous path of healing and transformation. You do not need to be an artist to be in sessions with me. I deeply believe that the arts can be a portal through which a personal metamorphosis can be facilitated. 


My primary modality is Expressive Arts Therapy, which is informed by more than twenty years of community arts and professional dance practice.  I integrate somatic and emotionally focused therapies as core frameworks in my practice, and I embrace all art modalities into the therapeutic space.
