For the past twenty years, my life’s work has been centered around human growth, healing, and transformation. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). My time there was incredibly formative, allowing me to weave together my background in mindfulness, philosophy, organizational consulting, and various personal growth practices into a holistic approach to therapy.
Driven by a desire to understand the deeper layers of the human experience, I went on to complete a rich, two-year fellowship at Access Institute in San Francisco. There, I received specialized psychoanalytic training, working closely with adults, couples, elders, and children in both clinic and community mental health spaces. I also hold a deep love for the power of group connection, and am a group therapist and graduate of the Group Therapy Training Program at The Psychotherapy Institute in Berkeley.
In addition to my general practice, I hold a deep clinical focus on supporting individuals and families navigating the profound transitions of the perinatal period. Certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International, I offer a compassionate, specialized space for those experiencing the complexities of conception, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. Bringing new life into the world—and navigating the identity shifts that come with it—is a tender and immense journey, and I am honored to walk alongside parents as they find their footing.
Clients, colleagues, and friends often describe my style as warm, grounded, supportive, and direct. I believe true healing happens in relationship, so I approach our work together with genuine curiosity, deep care, and unwavering respect for your unique story.
That respect extends to who you are in the world. I am deeply committed to social justice and continually dedicate myself to understanding the complexities of cultural and systemic difference.
