We all have parts of ourselves that are hidden underground because of painful experiences in our past that made us too scared to embody them fully. I seek to create a safe space for your whole self to emerge, be seen, and understood. Being human can feel immensely challenging, and we are not designed to deal with our experiences on our own. Each person is unique with specific needs, and I am here to help you figure out what meeting those needs could feel like and how to create more balance and calm in your nervous system.  

I create a warm and nurturing therapeutic environment and try to show up authentically as my real self in the therapy room. I am engaged and experiential in my sessions, drawing from Gestalt and somatic exercises to help bring you more into your body and deeper self-awareness. My orientation is holistic and psychodynamic, meaning I draw from a variety of psychological perspectives that are ultimately interested in what is happening beneath the surface of your psyche. I am informed by my own background and interest in spirituality and the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. 

I have a master’s degree from California Institute of Integral Studies in Integral Counseling Psychology and a Bachelor’s degree from Mills College in English Literature. I’ve worked in a variety of clinical settings, from community mental health to schools to private practice. I am endlessly curious about the role that trauma, the unconscious, and spirit play in the embodiment of the human experience.

I work with expecting, new, and seasoned mothers, individuals who seek deeper connection to themselves, who are struggling to find their passion or purpose, who are navigating a life transition, or who are experiencing anxiety, grief, or are dealing with the ripple effects of trauma. I also work with couples and parents who are needing help tending to their relationship and finding more connection and understanding with each other.
