I am a native Houstonian and an artist. I am also a retired ballerina. I have a BS in Psychology and while living in Denver, CO for 7 years worked at a residential mental health facility specializing in children with extreme trauma/abuse/neglect backgrounds and co-occuring disorders. I returned to the pursuit of art full time when I moved back to Houston after Harvey to help out my Mother out after witnessing the amazing benefits that art therapy had on my clients. I am engaged to my best friend from high school and we live in the Memorial area with our 2 dogs Eleanor "Ella" Rigby, Lucy, and Yurtle our Turtle. I enjoy surfing, swimming, snowboarding, and generally any outdoor activities.
