About

I became a psychotherapist because I love people and I am awed and humbled by the range of our human experience. I draw upon my passion for art, psychology, spirituality and nature to support individuals, couples and families to engage in authentic and deep work. Working with a range of ages from children to elders, I find that each stage of life comes with a unique set of challenges & gifts.

I believe that in bringing consciousness and intentionality to the important moments in our lives we can create a life that is utterly profound, beautiful, deep, connected and meaningful. Helping people to recognize, reflect on, integrate, heal and celebrate these moments is what I do.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Holistic Counseling Psychology with an Emphasis in Depth Psychotherapy from John F. Kennedy University. I received my BA in Psychology with a minor in Art from Sonoma State University. I previously served as a member of the board for the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association (IEATA), specifically on the Student and New Professionals Committee. I currently serve on the Ethics Committee for the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD) and have presented multiple times at their conferences in the U.S. and in Europe.

Additionally, I am a consulting psychotherapist for BAMRU (Bay Area Mountain Rescue Unit) where I support search and rescue volunteers to have strong mental health before and after crisis events.

I am committed to the destigmatization of mental health, the dissemination of tools available within the evolving field of psychology and contributing to a society in which quality wisdom and services can be made accessible to all people.

When I’m not seeing clients, I love spending time in nature, hiking, sharing delicious meals with friends and family, making art, writing and engaging in other creative processes.
