About me
I am originally from San Francisco and I feel most at home along the California coast. I love slow mornings, long walks, being in the ocean and living life with loved ones.
Before I became a therapist I worked in marketing and sales at Pinterest and a digital advertising start-up in San Francisco. That season of my life, followed by a shift to pursue a path in holistic psychotherapy, has helped give me perspective and understanding for the opportunities, challenges and crossroads that many of my clients face.
Whatever brings you here now, I trust the wisdom in your timing. I am so grateful to be with my clients on their healing journeys and I look forward to meeting you too.
