I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA Board of Behavioral Sciences #132859) located in Santa Cruz, CA. My approach to therapy emerged out of my passion for health and my connection to nature.  While I combine several modalities in my practice, empathy and authenticity are at the heart of my work.

I strive to cultivate a safe and inclusive space for my clients. I am committed to ongoing education and self-reflection to better understand the unique experiences and perspectives of diverse populations. I also prioritize collaboration and advocacy with my clients to address and dismantle systemic barriers that impact their mental health and well-being.

By integrating mindfulness, present body awareness, EMDR, and nature into my practice, I work with clients to develop tools and strategies to navigate their internal and external worlds with greater ease and resilience. Ultimately, my goal is to support individuals in creating lives that feel more connected, fulfilling, and aligned with their values and aspirations.

I received my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Depth Psychotherapies from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, CA.
