I was born and raised in Mammoth Lakes, CA and lived in the Eastern Sierra until moving to San Francisco to attend San Francisco State University, where in 2012 I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication Studies. Throughout my 20’s, I spent much of my time exploring Eastern spirituality and classical yoga theory, using these teachings to connect more deeply to my body/mind/soul, to others, and to the present moment. In 2021, I graduated from San Jose State University with a Master of Social Work degree (MSW) in the pursuit of working as a professional psychotherapist. I have been working in the mental health field since 2018, before which I worked in the physical health field, and I have been practicing extensive self-study for 15+ years.

Reflecting on my life, I have found immense personal purpose in contemplating and exploring how we can create balance and meaning through how we think, behave, and connect. I have come to believe that nurturing our minds, bodies, souls, and connections are the foundations of all aspects of wellness and purpose, and I use this belief as my compass in the work I do with myself and clients. My intention is to use psychotherapeutic methods, spiritual practices, and authentic connection to support people in creating meaningful and fulfilled lives.

In my personal life, I enjoy spending time with my partner and dog, being in nature, buzzing through cities, cooking and eating delicious plant-based food, traveling, losing myself in music, connecting to my body through movement, and being silent.
