My Ideal Client

I hold the belief that we are dynamic beings with the capacity to heal and grow. I believe that at the core of our existence, we have an authentic self but that wounding shadows it. I see therapy as the opportunity to navigate through this terrain by reconnecting to Self and living authentically. I do not have a one-size-fits-all approach. I move towards my clients with curiosity and compassion so that together we can unravel the ways in which healing is possible.

My Approach to Helping

I approach therapy with an integrative, experiential framework. I am interested in the ways in which my clients connect with their present experience and invite that knowledge to guide us toward the memories, beliefs and patterns that are no longer serving them so that they can learn new, healthier ways of being.

Why I Became a Therapist

I hold a degree in Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. Additionally, I hold a degree in Bachelors of Arts from the University of California at Santa Cruz where I studied Women Studies and Legal studies, and a Juris Doctorate from the University of California at Davis. My path to counseling came after a long tenure in the legal world. I worked with civil rights, prison rights, and criminal justice. My work required curiosity, compassion, and conviction but lacked the time for me to really be with my clients. After a lot of pause and reflection, I decided to leave the legal field and pursue a path in Counseling. This decision not only brought me to the career I was meant to do, but also brought me to discover my Core Self, the part of me that is embodied, connected and clear.
