The People

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (88866) and certified in MDMA-assisted therapy with MAPS, integrative somatic trauma therapy, Ketamine-assisted therapy, emotional freedom technique, and Reiki (master level). I have also trained extensively in the areas of somatic-based approaches, internal family systems, trauma-informed care, ancient shamanic and philosophical traditions, and energy healing practices.

I graduated from Saint Mary's College of California in 2013 with a master's degree in counseling and a specialization in marriage and family therapy. My experience includes working with posttraumatic stress and complex trauma, all levels of eating disorder care, domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, homelessness, end-of-life care, gender dysphoria, and cognitive/developmental disorders.

I also offer coaching services, which differ from therapy in that these services are not treatment for a mental health diagnosis, but rather in service of improving general well-being, performance, and growth. These services can be tailored to focus on enhancement in career, creativity, relationships, meaning and purpose, and life satisfaction.
