Wow, I'm excited to be here, living my dream by helping clients thrive beyond traumatic experiences and sharing the benefits of creative expression while also creating art.

My passion for art, design, and quilting began when I was a teenager, alongside my grandmother. I loved watching her magically transform yards of fabric into clothing. I humbly asked her one day to show me how to sew, and she was delighted to take me under her wing. After I gained confidence with the basics, I applied my skills to quilting by making my first quilt. She loved the idea, and we began making quilts and quilting together. I continued quilting while attending graphic design classes, and after earning a BFA, I opened a studio to design print and digital artwork for clients. 

I became pregnant, and I knew I had to make a custom quilt for the newborn that was about to enter and transform my life. I discovered how my graphic design training and experience strengthened my quilt-making skills. What joy I got from combining these two creative skills! While I was raising my son full-time, I brought it all together and began designing and making original modern quilts to sell. 

I discovered and pursued my passion for helping others heal from trauma, and I returned to school to become a licensed therapist. While in the MSW program, I continued to parent, train, create, and quilt, and it all came together in such beautiful harmony, revealing how using creativity to enhance our mental health, particularly in the process of healing from trauma, creates a fantastic and effective energy. Exercising the intuitive connection between our emotions and the use of color, design, and art is a profoundly fulfilling experience that I now share with others on their healing journey.
