Investing in the care that is right for you

A different way to approach your mental & emotional health

I am deeply invested in ensuring you get the care that you need. As such, I work in tandem with a network of integrative doctors, psychiatrists, personal trainers, Somatic experiencing practitioners, nutritionists, and other clinical therapists. An integrative approach means getting the the root cause. Often times this means incorporating a change in diet and lifestyle factors as well as movement and talk therapy.

Conscious Evolution for Couples

I have a passion and special space in my heart for couples work. This work is often done in tandem with personal work, and couples work allows for deeper connection, better conflict resolution, and overall a more joyous and fulfilling life.

15 years in Health and Wellness

It’s essential to me that my clients get personalized care, this means first finding the right fit therapist, if that is not me I am happy to help you find someone who is. Rather than do things the typical way, I’ve created a system designed around our patients’ needs. I work from the lens of not only a clinically trained therapist but a corrective exercise specialist, yoga teacher, and personal trainer who has extensive training about the human body. Last, I layer in my training in integrative nutrition to ensure mind, body, and spirit are all accounted for in your care with me.

Are we a good fit?

Are you seeking more balance, understanding, connection and freedom in your relationships with yourself and others? If so, I believe you are in the right place, and I am so glad you have found yourself here. Embarking on the journey of self-discovery and healing can often feel overwhelming. I create a safe and supportive environment to help you through the journey.

I am an Associate Marriage and Family therapist (# ) located in the state of California. I received my graduate degree in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. With over a decade of experience weaving together the threads of somatic knowledge as a corrective exercise specialist, integrative nutrition practitioner, personal trainer, certified Yoga instructor, and trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, I offer a holistic approach to therapy that honors the intricate connection between body and mind. My practice is rooted in the belief that by listening to our innate inner wisdom, we can uncover the stories and patterns that lie beneath the surface of our consciousness. It is through these narratives and that we find more balance, and harmony in our lives. 

“Your boundaries are your quest, I could explain this, but it will break the glass cover on your heart, and there’s no fixing that. You must have shadow and light source both. Listen and lay your head under the tree of awe” – Rumi

I believe in connection, and the wholeness of an imperfect being. I work to establish a safe therapeutic bond and work interpersonally in the here & now. Combining practices from object relations, somatic therapies, family systems (IFS), experiential therapies, emotionally focus therapy (EFT), attachment theory, depth tradition and psychoanalytic theory. I work with the belief that to find connection to the self is to find wholeness and ultimately relief and compassionate understanding.

 The journey of compassionate self-discovery is led by the client’s gentle inquisition, discovering patterns, and diving into the unconscious. There is a universe inside all of us ripe for discovery, we need only lay our head under the tree of awe. If you are curious about exploring the depths of your psyche and wish to embrace the full spectrum of your being, finding balance and wholeness within your imperfections, I encourage you to reach out.
