I have been interested in the environments and spaces we reside in since I was a young child. Growing in a rural landscape, I found great resource and connection in nature. This, paired with my love of drawing and creativity, led me to my first career in Landscape Architecture where I began my professional life in New York City.
My movement to the field of psychotherapy sprouted from my relentless curiosity, a meaningful and impactful therapeutic relationship I had experienced, and a longing for deeper, more connected work. My focus shifted to the internal landscape; the unique complex, layered world that lives in all of us.
My graduate training at the California Institute of Integral Studies exposed me to an array of modalities and techniques in the field of psychology. I began seeing clients at the Center for Somatic Psychotherapy in downtown San Francisco, where I worked with a diverse range of clients and began to hone my skills as a relational, depth psychotherapist. I have gained extensive experience in underserved elementary schools, working with children who have complex trauma, developmental delays and learning disabilities. I have also been incredibly fortunate to work with the elderly population, who have deeply influenced my life perspective and my overall approach as a therapist.
I have found a home in, and practice, what is called Depth Psychotherapy. I am infinitely encouraged by the complexity that Depth Psychology occupies of the inner world and the unconscious, of the magic and mystery that abounds. The terror, beauty and wisdom of the depths are my greatest inspiration, and I strongly believe that there that we can collectively find the wellspring of life.
