My Pronouns are She/Her. I honor the land in which I currently reside on, in Sonoma County, Ca. I honor the land stolen from Costal Miwok and Pomo People. I want to acknowledge that people from various racial, geographic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds have different lived experiences. They have unique cultural strengths and resiliency factors. They face varying types of adversity, discrimination and prejudice. There has been historical and current systemic oppression, dimensions of power and privilege. This makes it difficult to access appropriate and respectful medical and mental health care, education, housing, resources and assistance. I welcome and hold conscious space for all individuals and lived experiences. I bridge the gap where I can by offering reduced fee slots to those in need.
As a psychotherapist of 15 plus years, I have spent time diversifying my training to best support those I work work with. I am a clinician certified in Ecotherapy, EMDR, Inclusive Eating Disorder Specialist, and Equine Interaction Professional. I am located in Petaluma, CA.

My work is informed by natures wisdom, community connections, equine assisted therapy and eco-psychology. I help individuals work to embody their whole self, while finding purpose and meaning. I am deeply attuned to the suffering of our world and the ecological crisis that needs our attention.
I utilize my background in leadership and leadership development with the help of horses to work with corporations and business to find balance, strength and sustainability in their organization. I support families, couples and individuals through designing programs and retreats that meet specific communication, mental health and personal .professional needs.
I believe that each person I work with has the capacity to heal and everything they need within themselves to thrive.
