I am devoted to providing compassionate, encouraging, empowering therapy supporting my clients in the search for a life of meaning, wisdom, fulfilment and happiness, no matter your journey thus far. I believe in the potential in each of us to live well and bravely, for our own happiness, and for all that we share with others in this daunting and beautiful world we find ourselves in. If you are in need of a proverbial "traveling companion" to walk beside you and lift a light on the path while you practice seeing in the dark and igniting your own light, I may be your guide.
I utilize a dynamic and blended approach to mental health treatment drawing on various modalities for conceptualizing mental health concerns and life challenges. I strive to take an evidence-based approach to understanding our species’ psychology, infused with the personable warmth and rapport necessary to a great therapeutic relationship.
I bring to my work many years of experience in the fields of education, public service and mental health. I am a Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC#15737) and a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT#144349) supervised by Gwen Pelfini, LPCC#13835 of Rooted Ethos. I have telehealth openings for adult clients residing in California. I look forward to meeting you!
