About For the past 14 years, I've been privileged to work with clients both in-person and remotely in my private practice. My professional journey began with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.
Continuing my quest for growth and holistic healing, I regularly participate in in-depth trainings and workshops to expand my toolbox as a therapist. One of my favorite approaches is the work of the AEDP Institute. I've completed their immersion course and continue to pursue ongoing education with them. Additionally, I've completed EMDRIA-approved EMDR training with the Parnell Institute, focusing on attachment-based EMDR. I've also dedicated six years to a school in the Bay Area, where I learned intuitive and energy-based healing techniques.
My personal journey toward healing began over 20 years ago and has been a profound path of self-discovery. As a child, I keenly felt the pain within my own dysfunctional family dynamic, despite outward appearances of normalcy. Growing up in an environment of high-functioning alcoholism left me lacking the necessary tools and internal resources to live authentically. Overwhelmed by shame and self-doubt, I realized I needed help, which marked the beginning of my own therapy journey toward wholeness. Experiencing such a powerful transformation through therapy inspired my decision to become a therapist, knowing firsthand what is possible in healing based on my own lived experience as a client. I'm deeply committed to my personal and spiritual growth in this life. My meditation and spiritual practice strengthen my intuition and inner knowing, which I actively nurture and engage with daily. As an empath and highly sensitive person (HSP) with powerful intuition, I consider these traits my superpower as a therapist. They enable me to attune to clients in a deeper way, picking up on what's not being said and guiding us to what needs attention and care.
It's truly an honor to guide individuals on their journey toward healing and wholeness. I look forward to the opportunity to support you in your own path of self-discovery and growth.
