Growing up in Oregon, I developed a deep appreciation for nature and the importance of a holistic approach to healing, where mind, body, and environment are interconnected.

My career in creative operations within the advertising and architecture industries has equipped me with a unique, blended systems perspective that I bring to my therapy practice. This experience enhances my ability to approach each client’s needs with structure, creativity and empathy.

I earned my Master of Arts in Psychology here in California. Where my practicum was with those living with neurocognitive disorders like dementia and Alzheimer’s. Our memories are such a core component of our identities. The exposure to aging, death, grief and loss helped build my compassion for the human experience. Also, caregiving whether child, partner or parent is challenging and I offer support. 

I am interested in neuroscience how the brain and body specifically the nervous system work in response to environmental stress and trauma. I’ve committed myself to continuously learning more to help others in their own natural capacity to heal. 

I like to bring in EMDR therapy to help metabolize and integrate that which is causing emotional distress to provide relief.

Personally, I’m a proud of my journey. I am mother to an energetic five-year-old son who has taught me so much about life and relationships. A wife to my French-American husband who has partnered with me to create a relationship built on mutual respect, love and shared growth. We live by the beach with our always hungry and fierce tabby cat. We routinely enjoy the tranquil beauty of the nearby desert and mountains.
