If you’re looking for more purpose and vitality in your life, I’m here to help! Whether your goal is to prioritize basic self-care or take a huge leap, I want to support you in those endeavors. I specialize in helping people tap into their innate curiosity and wonder about the world. All living things, like a fern unfurling, have an innate orientation toward growth. People have all the answers they need within them. My job as a therapist is to act as a mirror, reflecting your inner wisdom. Allow me to shine a light on what is already within.

My work is shaped by education and training in ecotherapy, mindfulness-based self-compassion, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I received a BA in Psychology at UC Santa Barbara and a Master of Social Work at Cal State East Bay. I have worked in both non-profit community mental health and healthcare settings with people from a range of backgrounds, demographics, and presenting problems.

I became a therapist because I wanted to both help other people and better understand myself. It's truly an honor to sit with other people in their suffering, self-discovery, and growth.

I love to travel, thrift shop, hike, and soak in baths and hot springs but lately I have been most excited about dancing. Whether it's salsa, bachata, swing, country two-step, or 5Rhythms, dancing brings me so much joy!

I take walks to support my mental and emotional well-being. Whether it's alone or with a friend, in natural spaces or in my neighborhood, I use the time to savor nature and relax.

Life is often unfair, banal, and brutal so I make a point to find and cultivate awe. Whether it's in my own backyard or a national park, nature is the most reliable source of awe for me.
