I am a licensed psychotherapist with an Integral Counseling Psychology Masters degree from The California Institute of Integral Studies. I am also a certified Co-Active coach trained by the Coaches Training Institute and have received training from ORSC (Organizational Relationship System Coaching).  I am a certified End of Life/Death Doula trained by Going with Grace. I received my B.A. in Sociology from Vassar College. I am currently enrolled in a 6 month Internal Family Systems (IFS) training with the IFS institute. I am bilingual in Spanish and my recent psychotherapeutic work has been as a Bilingual Trauma Therapist with victims of crime. I hold deep respect and curiosity for difference such as race, class, gender, sexual orientation and and gender identity. I am an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and am educating myself on antiracism to better support clients.

Before my graduate studies, I lived for eight years in Oaxaca, Mexico, and Barcelona, Spain. During this time, I taught English and Art, studied metalwork, meditation, and jewelry design, and became fluent in Spanish. I am an artist, sewist, and mother.
