Creative psychotherapy for wellbeing.
Hi, I’m Libra and I offer expressive arts therapy and creative counseling to individuals, couples, and groups. My approach is compassionate, intuitive, curious, and attuned.
I believe therapy is a non-linear, collaborative process. Together, we can explore themes such as navigating life transitions, processing loss and grief, healing emotional wounds, fostering self-discovery, working with dreams, and finding purpose.
I hold a Master's degree in counseling psychology from CIIS, with a focus on expressive arts therapy. This background provides me with a strong foundational framework and a rich toolbox of clinically researched arts-based interventions.

My practicum training at Elder Ashram was a deeply enriching experience where I worked with elders living with dementia. Meeting clients in the present moment formed the core of relating to these wisdom keepers, creating a space for authentic witnessing and being with whatever arose. Each week, I co-facilitated an arts group where elders had space to self-reflect and engage in expressive modalities for greater self-discovery.
A little about me:
I am a dreamer, an artist, a sensitive, joyful soul. Creative expression is my driving force.
I was an interior designer for nearly two decades, eventually running my own business, librastudio. A growing desire to help others on a deeper, more heartfelt level, combined with the Covid shutdown gave me the space and the courage to change course and go back to school.
Although I had done a couple years of college way back when, I had never finished. Becoming a therapist meant first I had to complete my undergrad, which I did in May 2022--a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS).
And then I kept right on going. In May 2025, I graduated from CIIS with a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology in Expressive Arts Therapy
I grew up between Maui and Los Angeles, toggling between parents, and coping amidst adverse childhood trauma. The creative arts have helped me to heal, grow, and transform at a core level and I believe in their power. It's why I am here.
