I am glad that you are here.  My hope is that by working together, you will find a greater sense of connection and acceptance within yourself.  I will greet you with warmth and authenticity as we work together collaboratively to understand, accept, and resolve your current challenges.

My clinical experience includes working in a community mental health setting for transition-aged youth, a residential treatment home for adolescent males with substance use disorders, a residential treatment home for adults with eating disorders, and with adults in an outpatient clinic for a health maintenance organization. Throughout these experiences, I witnessed many people connect with their inner source of strength and continue on in the world from a place of peace, meaning, and vitality. I am continuously inspired by my clients’ vulnerability and willingness to turn inward and trust the process of change.

I hold an MA in Integral Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Somatic Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies.  The primary trainings that I have completed, which influence my work include EMDR training with the EMDR Institute and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy immersion with Stephen Hayes. Additionally, I am a trained yoga instructor.  In my free time I enjoy gardening, hiking, cooking and spending time with my dog and husband.
