Great to meet you!

I am an LPC with over 15 years of experience in the field. I received my BS in Clinical Psychology from UC San Diego, followed by my Master's at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado.

I am an experienced therapist, supervisor, instructor, and group facilitator in various settings, including having taught Graduate level courses on Transforming Addictions and Multicultural and Diversity Issues in Counseling.

My approach to therapy

I was always fascinated by the intersection of mind, body, spirit, and emotion, and as such, specialized in mindfulness based techniques inclusive diverse spiritual perspectives. I am also certified in the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a powerful, but simple method that provides immediate relief of distress. When offered in guided sessions, EFT also works to unravel and shift unhealthy patterns that the conscious mind and talk therapy alone cannot access. I am also an initiated spiritual doctor in a tradition rooted in the Caribbean and walk both world of being a healer/Shamanic Practitioner and Psychotherapist in my two separate practices.

What you can expect from me

Your strengths lie in your weaknesses, and your power lies within your suffering. I will gently guide you through a journey where you can piece by piece, find balance and empowerment in your life.I am passionate about being an innovator in the field of psychology and supporting work that brings forth real change, rooted in honoring the uniqueness of each individual.
