About Me
As a naturally curious person, I read many books, attended seminars in self discovery led by psychologists and healers, practiced and taught Ashtanga Yoga, and experienced therapy as a helpful tool in my own lie. All my lived experiences have helped me find my inner voice and become my authentic self as a therapist.
Education & Experience
I have been practicing psychotherapy for 8 years and am a licensed in the state of California as Marriage and Family therapist holding a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology with emphasis on Depth Psychology (Jungian) from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, CA.
