Curam is an art therapy practice offering curious, compassionate, and grounded support for those seeking pathways to embodied liberation.
I’m a queer artist, art therapist, educator, & facilitator. I created Curam as a container for folks to feel supported in navigating emotional depths through embodiment & creative processes.
I am a trauma-focused, client-centered therapist working with clients based in New Mexico. I’m also a creative doula, supporting people located anywhere in bringing creative visions to life. I am here to collaborate with you to build strategies to overcome obstacles and honor the dreams you have for your life and your most important relationships.
Cúram: [pronounced cuh-ram] Irish Gaelic meaning care, responsibility, charge, or duty.

what clients are saying
“It is a vulnerable process that allowed me to see beyond my original intentions. Chelsea guided me to gain clarity and had front row seat witnessing in me stepping more deeply into myself. Miracles unfolded in my creative journey during our time together and we were BOTH in awe. As a creative, to have someone to witness your growth and celebrate with you, is more than you can ask for. Especially for someone who is just discovering their creative self."
“Working with Chelsea felt safe and nourishing. She has is a deep listener and encourages me to listen to my own self. She’s been flexible with my vague conceptual path and given me tools and ideas to make things seemingly concrete.”
"One of the biggest takeaways I have from with this work with Chelsea is a deeper curiosity in myself. My conversations with people in my life have grown deeper, and more in alignment with my value systems, and where I want to prioritize my energy. I also felt myself move through creative blocks by redefining what it even means to be actively creative. I also found myself moving out of my comfort zone and into growth in promoting, and speaking about my body of artwork."
“With Chelsea I’ve been able to set better boundaries in my relationships, as well as move away from people pleasing tendencies which is something I’ve struggled with for a very long time."
