I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in San Diego, California.

I work with adult clients throughout the state of California providing online therapy.

I received my Bachelor of Psychology from UC Berkeley in 2011 and my Master of Social Work from San Diego State University in 2017. In between my two degrees, I lived and worked as a chef at two Buddhist Retreat Centers in Vermont and Northern California. I had been drawn to learn about Buddhism because of my interest in meditation and Eastern philosophy, and happened to do so while cooking vegetarian meals.

As a social worker I worked in hospice and inpatient hospitals, later transitioning to working primarily as an outpatient therapist. Initially trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, I have since moved towards a more eclectic approach informed by Internal Family Systems Therapy, therapies which focus on the way that emotions show up in the body, and attachment theory.

Although I took a somewhat circuitous path to becoming a therapist, something that has always been a constant in my life has been the pursuit of strategies for healing, change, and self-improvement.

I received a Health Coach Certification in 2012, became a Reiki Master in 2017, received an Open Focus Certification in 2023, and have explored various meditation practices since attending my first meditation retreat in 2010, including Vipassana, self-compassion practices, and the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza.

I am honored to support my clients in their growth and I look forward to connecting with every individual who comes seeking support along their human journey.
