About

Grief, loss and emotionally difficult life experiences can be a journey to navigate. Not to mention downright painful to steer alone. For many, there aren’t always opportunities to slow down, pause and inquire within. Have you noticed yourself enduring or sustaining life in the short term but eventually the difficult feelings metastasized? Some of our most tender feelings and emotions can be scary to face but meeting them with support, care and intervention, can be life changing.

Have you been feeling the call to explore you inner world more deeply? Have you been longing to meet yourself in ways that feel nurturing for deeper understanding and awareness? Do you want to feel better but don’t know where to start? If any of this sound you, I’m glad that you’ve made your way to my page.

I hold a holistic approach where we may begin to explore your feelings and experiences impacting your well-being. This may look like exploring internal landscapes, processing earlier developmental experiences, feelings, desires, goals, larger systems, intergenerational narratives, integrated beliefs for deeper understanding, integration and healing.

My journey in psychotherapy and body work began with my own evolutionary healing path. I hold experiential life wisdom as well a clinical training in navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, anger, grief processing, loss & death processing, internalized oppression, female reproductive and hormonal transitions, depth exploration and soul journey work. Inspired by nature, ancient wisdom traditions, dance and spirituality, I hold a Masters degree in integral counseling from the California Institute of Integral Studies, Associate Marriage Family Therapy provisional licensure #149131, Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Shamanic Practice training through the sacred Stream Foundation, Ministry certification, equine mindfulness certificate through EAL academy and Comprehensive Pilates Certification through ITT Pilates in 2010 and mat pilates in 2007.

I hold an integral approach to my work in psychotherapy. Drawing upon Transpersonal, spiritual practices, mindfulness, somatic principles gained through my lifelong training in body work and clinical intervention acquired through academic training. I hold a collaborate approach between meeting within the here and now, allowing the client to guide the session for where they feel called to go. I believe there is an innate wisdom within all beings and part of the work is inviting that wisdom to come forth within the session, while simultaneously reflecting strengths and growth edges.

I am currently working under provisional licensure (AMFT) at Love Frontier Therapy, completing my associateship hours. I completed my practicum hours through a hospice and palliative care clinic in the bay area, specifically concentrating on bereavement, loss and grief processing.

In my free time, I enjoy being outside in nature with my 15 year-old son and 11 year old dog, equine engagement, community involvement, resourcing food as medicine and spiritual practice.

Please book an initial consultation with me to ask any questions you may have and share with some of what you’ve been navigating. I look forward to connecting with you.
