Welcome to my website. I’m glad you’re here. I want to tell you a little bit about myself and what I offer. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing psychotherapy in Petaluma, California or via Zoom or phone for wherever you may reside within the state of California.
Starting therapy is a big deal. Or, it can be! Entrusting someone else with your fears and vulnerabilities can feel daunting. I welcome you as you are, and I will do everything I can to help you feel safe, seen, and comfortable with me. I bring a trauma-informed lens to our work. Some of the modalities and methods we might use in our time together include Internal Family Systems (https://ifs-institute.com ) and EMDR (https://www.emdria.org/about-emdr-therapy/ . I also bring somatic awareness, nervous system regulation skills, compassionate presence, deep listening, and curiosity to our work together. I am comfortable working with a range of issues, including grief and loss, trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, feeling stuck in your life, self-esteem issues, and relationship challenges. If I seem like I might be a good fit for you, please call or e-mail to set up an initial free 15 minute phone call. I would love to speak with you!

About Me
I came to the study and practice of psychotherapy through my own healing journey. Along the way, I have been blessed to receive benefit from a variety of modalities, including physical practices, spiritual teachings, and traditional talk therapy. I have a background in yoga, bodywork, and meditation practices, as well as creative writing. In 2018, I got introduced to Internal Family Systems, and in applying it to my own life as well as those if my clients, I've deepened my trust in our tremendous power to heal. I am eternally curious about how healing works, and eager to learn more. Supporting our movement towards healing, personally and collectively, is deeply meaningful for me, and I continue to be surprised and amazed by what appears to me as an organic, creative movement towards wholeness that exists in all of us.
If you'd like to know a bit about some of the trainings I've engaged with over the years, read on.
I received my MA in Counseling Psychology from Sonoma State University in 2012, and worked in a variety of internship sites including Community Institute for Psychotherapy in San Rafael, the Ritter House (a wrap around services center for low-income and unhoused folks), and Hospice By the Bay, where I provided care as a grief counselor for three years. After getting my license in 2015, I worked as a social worker for Hospice of Petaluma while also opening my private practice. Back in 2013 I trained in levels I and II of EMDR with Laurel Parnell, and in 2018 I participated in a year long Circle Training in Internal Family Systems with The IFS Institute. During the pandemic I took an on-line training in pre- and perinatal Trauma with Raja Selvam, who is the founder of Integral Somatic Psychology. In 2024, I completed a 9 month certificate program through CIIS in Psychedelic Therapies and Research, which included a module with lead trainers from MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies). https://maps.org/about-maps/ Also, over the years, I have studied and practiced mindfulness meditation with various teachers and primarily through Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Back in 2007 I completed a 2 year program in energy work called Masters of Intuition Medicine, from The Academy of Intuition Medicine®. https://intuitionmedicine.org. I went on to take a Reiki training shortly thereafter. Even further back...in 1998 and again in 2001, I completed certificate programs in becoming a yoga instructor, through Its Yoga and The Yoga Studio respectively, and then in 2006 completed certification in massage therapy from Alive and Well! Institute of Conscious Bodywork. While I don't incorporate massage, energy healing, yoga practices, or psychedelic assisted therapy into psychotherapy sessions, nevertheless this background informs my understanding of the relationships between our bodies, our psyches, and the subtle aspects of ourselves that we may not be able to see or touch in the material world.
If you'd like to explore working with me, please call or e-mail me to set up a free 15 minute phone consultation. I would love to hear from you.
