"The one who looks outside--dreams, but the one who looks inside-- awakens" ~ Carl Jung.

I received my bachelor's degree from Antioch University of Santa Barbara with a major in Psychology and Media Communications.  I later obtained my Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, emphasizing Depth Psychology. At Pacifica, I focused my academic research on using mythopoetic exploration as an intervention in helping families of children with special needs and navigating the emotional feelings around this particular life experience.  

At Community Counseling & Education Center in Santa Barbara, I completed my traineeship towards licensure. And while I worked with many individuals, couples, and families, my expertise showed up to be teens with individuation hurdles, couples wanting to grow as individuals while focusing on deepening their own relationship, people experiencing crisis-of-faith and spiritually-oriented issues, as well as women navigating difficult life transitions. 

In my current role at Janus Counseling Center as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist #122491. I come alongside my patient/s in developing a treatment plan that will help glean the best results in the therapeutic experience and find meaning throughout the process.
