I’m Katie, and I’ve been creating for as long as I can remember.

I am an artist, a maker, an expressive arts therapist, a Wayfinder Life Coach. I believe that the path to mental health, physical health, and joy is found through the authentic expression of the self. I use tools and techniques to help you explore your experiences and feelings and together we will paint, sculpt, write, and dance our way toward your goals. I strive to hold a safe and accepting space for folks from all walks of life and of all identities.

I am an artist and a maker. I draw and paint. I sculpt and craft. I have been a soap maker, a painter, a dancer, a leather crafter, a writer, a sculptor, a jewelry maker, and more! I love to learn new skills and am always exploring new materials. This is who I am and when I am not making and moving I am restless and uncomfortable. I believe creativity is an inherent part of the human experience. I believe it helps us access and process our feelings, thoughts, and experiences and the act of creating allows us to access solutions that we had not yet considered possible. If you are looking for creative solutions in your life contact me and learn more about my practice and what we can accomplish together.

Art Therapist & Creativity and Wellness Coach

Hi, welcome to my practice. I want to share a little bit about me. I’m an artist, art therapist, educator, and creativity coach. I have an active art practice as a painter, drawer, and ceramic sculptor. I teach as an adjunct at a university, which I love! I have three kids, three dogs, and two cats! I love gardening and sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and good friends.

I have my Master of Fine Art in painting and drawing and a Master of Professional Studies in Expressive Art Therapy and Creativity Development from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. I have my LMHC in New Mexico and my ATR-P license (Art Therapist Registered-Provisional) through AATA. I am a Level II certified somatic practitioner and have a certification as an End of Life Doula.

My passion for people and art is never ending and I am excited to meet you and create with you on your journey. Together we can cultivate and nurture your creative spirit, expand your capacity for joy, and attend to your health and wellbeing.

A SPACE OF BELONGING

Learning & Lineage

My path into this work has been shaped by deep study, mentorship, and direct experience - guided by the unseen and witnessed by those who have walked with me. I honor my teachers, my ancestors, and the many ways wisdom has revealed itself along the way.

In addition to my lived experience, my work is informed by ancestral practices, somatic and energetic work, ritual arts, storytelling as a transformational practice, and regenerative leadership. I hold a a master's degree in Creative Development & Creative Arts Therapy and have spent over a decade weaving my background in community arts spaces, intuitive studies, and art history into a body of work that serves individuals, couples, and communities.
