Hello! I am a licensed Psychologist with over 15 years of experience as a healing arts practitioner.
I earned a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the California Institute of Integrated Studies. My Bachelor of Science degree in Psychobiology, with a double major in French, is from the University of California, Los Angeles. I have worked in a variety of settings, both as a researcher and a psychotherapist, including private and group practice, addiction programs, senior living facility/hospice, and an early psychosis treatment program, helping people from a broad range of cultural, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds.
I have also studied and practiced somatic approaches to health and well-being, including body-oriented psychotherapy, dance/movement therapy, and yoga and other movement arts. I am interested in the role of the body and movement in emotional, cognitive, and spiritual processing.
In my private practice, I enjoy working with adults of all ages, be they seeking to balance relationships/family, career, and personal needs, or aiming to develop a more grounded sense of self, meaning, and direction. I work with women in all stages of life: those individuating, questioning cultural/familial norms, and discovering their gifts, those navigating motherhood, caring for elderly parents, as well as elder women. I work with bicultural people, particularly immigrants, whose stories are often erased and untold. Finally, I offer many years of training in psychedelic therapy; I can support preparation and integration processes.
