A Holistic Approach
More than just talk therapy, I seek to facilitate transformational experiences.
Our sessions may include talking, process-oriented artmaking, body awareness, contemplative practices, ritual, deep nature connection, or walking together outside.

I acknowledge that my practice and home are located in Popeloutchom, an unceded territory of the Sayantaca Tribe. In order to honor and support the modern tribe representing the surviving descendent families, I pay rent to the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band. You can learn more at: Amah Mutsun Land Trust and Amah Mutsun | Tribal Band.

“Home to our four-legged, winged, finned, and plant kin; they have provided us with all that we needed for millennia – we will care for them. Resting place of those that came before us and cradle of those yet to come, they are sacred – we will protect them.” - Amah Mutsun Tribal Band
