I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California (Lic. 90684). My clinical experience includes individual, couple, family and group therapy in private practice, through school based counseling, the non-profit sector, and eating disorder treatment at the residential, intensive-day, and outpatient levels of care. I hold a certificate in Perinatal Mental Health and have completed a two year training in the Hakomi Method through the Hakomi Institute of California. I am currently pursuing a certification as a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.
I come to this work because I believe that when held lovingly in compassion and acceptance, every single being on this earth has the capacity to heal and grow. I don't have all the answers. I am still in process myself and I imagine I always will be - such is the nature of being human. But my training as a therapist has given me a lot of incredibly useful tools, perspectives, and insights and I'm always learning new ways of inviting health and healing in myself and others. I bring strong clinical knowledge, years of experience counseling diverse populations, courage, depth, wisdom, deep listening, and compassion to my work and am constantly awed by the transformations that occur when people feel seen, heard and held.
I am also a wife, the mama of two children, a lover of wild nature, creativity, and connection. I have an inquisitive, curious mind that never stops wondering about things and seeking new information and perspectives. I am dedicated to being of service in the world and to developing deeper levels of compassion, kindness and understanding for all beings.
