About Me

I am a certified, Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing telehealth for clients in California and both in person and telehealth sessions for clients in Vancouver Washington. I have 12 years experience working with terminally ill patients and their families in hospice and 4 years experience working with at risk teens in residential care settings.

Aside from my traditional education, I have studied various alternative and holistic modalities including Buddhist psychology, psychedelic integration, somatic work, non-dual teachings, A Course in Miracles, hypnotherapy, energy healing, and more. However, I believe my most significant training has come through my work with clients as well as my own personal journey of healing and transformation. I know first hand that healing from trauma and “the dark night of the soul” are not only possible, but hold within it the key to discovering one’s true greatness. When we lovingly, compassionately embrace our pain rather than suppress or try to get away from it, the guilt, blame and shame so many of us carry begins to dissolve-- allowing the truth of our being to emerge from the darkness. The pain itself becomes the vehicle which fuels us towards greater freedom and a deepened experience of awe and wellbeing in all aspects of our life.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Whether you’re facing a terminal diagnosis or grieving the loss of a loved one,  if you are struggling in your relationships, or experiencing anxiety or depression,  or if you would like to cultivate more joy and meaning in your life, I can help. I will infuse our collaboration with loving acceptance, humor and curiosity to create a trusting therapeutic relationship where you can find clarity about what your body, mind and soul are signaling to you. With the right therapist, a willingness to inquire within and the desire to see yourself and the world differently, a greater sense of Love and Joy can emerge and thrive.
