Everyone has the ability to flourish in their lives. I believe that psychotherapy is a way to reconnect with one’s abundance and life purpose in a meaningful way when that connection feels tenuous or lost. As a therapist I support and encourage my clients’ curiosity about all aspects of their being – mind, body, and soul. To this end I offer my clients a therapeutic approach that integrates talk therapy, mindfulness, and somatic awareness. I invite my clients to incorporate dreams, drawing, sand tray, writing, and meditation into their work with me.

I am deeply committed to creating a safe and compassionate therapeutic environment where my clients can experience psychological and spiritual healing at their chosen pace. My intention is to help my clients engage in their lives, with their families, and community in a fulfilling and vital way long after therapy is completed. I welcome working with a diversity of counseling clients including children, teens, adults, couples, and families.

I hold a Masters in Counseling Psychology from the Pacifica Graduate Institute and I have been trained in a variety of psychological approaches including:

• psychodynamic
• humanistic
• somatic
• depth
• Jungian
• Buddhist
• cognitive behavioral

My counseling areas of interest include:

• depression
• anxiety
• trauma recovery
• self-esteem issues
• attachment issues
• relationship/intimacy issues
• body image
• shame
• couples communication
• grief therapy
• post traumatic stress (PTSD)

I also have a background as an astrologer, an Authentic Movement practitioner, and am trained in Reiki.
