My Story

I grew up in Northern California but have spent my adult years adventuring, studying, and working around the United States in New York, Alabama, Utah, Florida, and Texas. I earned a doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology from Auburn University and a B.A. from New York University in Social and Cultural Analysis.

My doctoral research centered on strategies of resilience and challenges faced by invisible and visible minority individuals. In my clinical work I have provided individual, group, and couples therapy for the past ten years at private practice settings such as Deep Eddy Psychotherapy as well as university counseling centers including Auburn University, Columbus State University, University of Miami, and University of Utah, where I completed my predoctoral internship.

In addition to clinical work, I am passionate about supervising and training new therapists and aim to foster safety, flexibility, and power-sharing, when working with trainees.

When I am not sitting with clients or talking about therapy, I love walking in cities or the wilderness, hosting potlucks, watching good tv, dancing, thrifting, listening to podcasts and stand-up comedy, or swimming with my family.
