I am a queer mom, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, I love running groups and offering the expressive arts fused with mindfulness. I practice on the stolen homelands of the Ramaytush Ohlone (colonized as San Francisco). Training in the expressive arts, mindfulness, and embodied social justice have been my focus for the last four years.
I grew up in the U.S. South, attended undergrad there, got a degree in Theater Arts with a minor in Education. After graduation, I lived in New York City, teaching theater in four of the five boroughs. I did a little acting along the way. After a decade of teaching and parent meetings that seemed a lot like therapy, I turned to a career in psychology (at the same time becoming a parent).
I have worked with families, teens, and many individual folks helping them heal their intimate relationships (with self and others). I use client-centered techniques, meaning you are your best source of wisdom, not me. The power of the arts, all of the arts, are my life's course. I find daily journaling, meditating, or dancing to be vital, especially these last years. With each day I aim to explore and uncover my privileges as an able-bodied white woman who grew up with access to education and middle-class background...there has been some unpacking and I will keep acknowledging these identities. I know in my bones our liberation is bound together. I seek ways to get us all freer and freer.
