about me

my story

A woman with long blonde hair smiling, sitting on a wooden chair outdoors surrounded by green plants and rocks, wearing a black and white patterned sweater.

I became a therapist because I believe in the transformative power of therapy. My own journey of self-discovery and healing has shown me how meaningful change is possible—not only in how we relate to ourselves, but in the quality of our relationships and the way we move through the world.

This inspired me to leave a career in the music, television and tech industries to pursue a path that felt more aligned with my heart. Along the way, my longtime yoga practice deepened my understanding of the profound connection between mind, body, heart, and spirit—a holistic perspective that continues to guide my approach to therapy today.

I’m passionate about supporting others, bring many decades of life experience to my work, and know firsthand the courage it takes to reach out for help.

education & training

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies from UCLA and a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), where I studied East-West approaches to psychotherapy.
