About Me
I'm an author and a licensed psychotherapist in California specializing in trauma, anxiety, and dreams. I'm also a mindfulness-based, international wellbeing life coach and a certified yoga teacher, E-RYT 500. I love integrating meditation, a practice I've honored daily since studying meditation at a small ashram in southern India in 2007. I have a life long interest in dreams and spirituality, and I'm an author of three books on dreams and soul growth. I'm also past Board Chair of the International Association for the Study of Dreams. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, warm, and present, with influences from EMDR, Jungian psychology, mindfulness and yoga teachings, as well as solution-focused therapy. My intention is to live everyday in higher awareness, and I love helping clients on journeys of inner healing and transformation.
