Everybody is born with the capacity to enjoy life, to feel empowered, and to be healthy in mind, body, and spirit. Unfortunately, certain life circumstances such as abusive and toxic relationships, family conflict, trauma, failure, and loss can prevent people from feeling hopeful, worthy, or successful. In a supportive and nurturing environment, I have dedicated my career to helping others develop the positive habits, spiritual tools, and healthy thinking needed for them to heal and succeed.

As a wounded healer, I have found my own way to sustained recovery and balance through a holistic approach. I understand the therapeutic tools that I use with clients on an intimate level, through both extensive self-application and careful application with others. I have a particular interest in working with people who hear voices, see visions, and have tactile sensations, and who want to make meaning of these experiences and learn to cope if they become distressing. My goal is to help you improve the relationship with your experience to achieve agency, empowerment, and to reduce distress and hopelessness. I work with adults only.

It is strange and often hard to be a human being. I walk alongside my clients amidst life's chaos to demystify each person's unique inner world. I encourage getting curious about symptoms rather than judging or condemning them. I am passionate about couples work in particular - this is my current specialty/focus. I earned my MA in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA, where I studied dream/imaginal work & unconscious processes. My work is primarily psychodynamic & depth-oriented - striving to uncover what has been forgotten, digging deep, & viewing all parts of self as valuable

My extensive journey as a counselor has taught me that, wherever one finds oneself in life, lasting change is not only possible, but within reach. Embracing an integrative approach to psychotherapy, I draw upon a rich tapestry of modalities in order to tailor a treatment plan to each individual's unique circumstances. I encourage clients to build upon their own strengths and to tap into their innate desire to flourish. I create a therapeutic space free of judgment or prejudice. I believe that treatment is fundamentally an interactive process in which the client will develop and foster the skills to live fully and with meaning.

There is not a singular source to our suffering. Turmoil can originate in, and travel through, our bodies, minds, communities, families, and sociopolitical systems. Often, we respond to inner turmoil in two extreme ways. We may excessively worry, attempt to control, develop repetitive, troubling thoughts, or just obsess about our lives. Or we may do the opposite; avoid, isolate, refuse contact with situations we perceive to be dangerous or distressing, or say 'it is hopeless,' and check out. Therapy can help us gain access to our grief and pain while developing the wisdom that comes with renewed commitment to our lives.

Sometimes we may find ourselves having to deal with issues that might make us to feel lost, saddened, puzzled, unhappy and frustrated; These are the moments when understanding and kind support is so much needed so we could reconnect with inner self for resilience.

Life’s challenges are inevitable. I aim to help each client navigate these difficulties through a shift in their relationship with unpleasant thoughts and feelings. As the saying goes, "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." As a therapist, I bring kindness, curiosity, and humor. Clients who have benefited most from working with me are inquisitive, and open to trying new exercises in therapy.
