I am a California licensed marriage and family therapist with decades of experience in the healing and helping professions. I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco. I have worked or volunteered in public schools, community-based nonprofits, and private settings since 2008. 

​

The ethos of my therapeutic work is informed by many disciplines and practices, including contemplative traditions, western and eastern wisdom traditions, ceremony and ritual, dance, group & individual psycho-experiential exploration, and an ongoing commitment to my own personal growth and evolution.  I have deep gratitude for the many teachers, healers, and mentors that have supported me in my own healing journey.

​

I have a particular passion for working with those who are:

• seeking to heal childhood wounds and resolve trauma

• navigating significant life transitions such as divorce

• dealing with loss, bereavement  and grief,

• struggling with depression, anxiety, confidence, and low self-esteem.

• seeking to create healthier relationships

• grappling with aging concerns, life meaning/purpose, and work burnout

​

I also offer a non-judgmental, compassionate, and informed space for individuals to explore their experiences with non-ordinary states of consciousness, including those created by powerful psychedelic substances (psychedelic integration).    

 

My style is deeply relational, trauma-informed,  intuitive, and interactive. I work from a non-pathologizing, compassionate stance, and  I hold as deep truth that people are more than their worst moments, darkest thoughts, and severest symptoms.

 

I am deeply grateful for my vocation

as a psychotherapist, as it allows me to actively engage in my deepest wish for all; as we navigate the complexities of our lives: 

​

“May all beings

be at ease and at peace,

may all beings

be free from suffering."

(Metta benediction of loving-kindness)
