About

Life has a way of moving fast. Sometimes we don’t always have the opportunity to slow down, pause and ask ourselves what we really want. Depending on our backgrounds, family narratives, situational environments, cultural and racial location and even our gender, we may not been encouraged to fully step into all we truly are or pursue our unique soul path. We may one day find ourselves living a life that has been created based upon what was expected externally but somehow did not include all of who we are. When not paying attention to internal needs, may begin the call of longing or somatic cues, pulling our attention to deeper inquiry and care. This may show up as anxiety, depression, anger, grief and sometimes physical pain. Have you found yourself questioning your life or noticing choices that haven’t been serving your highest good? Do you feel like you’ve found yourself living a life that doesn’t feel like your own? Have you felt anxious, frustrated, angry or that you are having difficulty in your relationships or life transitions? Does something feel off in your life and you’re not quite sure what it is’? If any of this sounds like some of the questions you’ve been pondering, I’m glad that you have made your way to my page.

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, 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 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.

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 value a balanced 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 towards Marriage Family Therapy Licensure (LMFT), completing my associateship hours. I acquired my practicum hours through a hospice and palliative care clinic in the bay area, specifically concentrating on bereavement, loss and grief processing. I am currently supervised by Kim Wylder LMFT # 80512 at Wylder Roots. www.WylderRoots.com

In my free time, I enjoy being outside in nature with my 14 year old son and dog, moving my body, equine engagement, community involvement, resourcing food as medicine and spiritual practice.

Please book an initial consultation or call with me to ask any questions you may have and share with some of what you’ve been navigating to learn if we would be a good fit to work together. I look forward to speaking with you.
