About Me
I received an MA in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, a holistic and engaging learning experience that allowed me to pursue my own healing while expanding my understanding of various psychological theories and approaches to healing. I am passionate about understanding the human experience and, the internal and external experiences that shape who we are and how we engage with the world around us. I believe that healing begins within ourselves and extends to our relationships: current, past and those to come. This is necessary to achieve the fullest and most authentic life, a life that is aligned with and honors all the parts of who we are.
​
As a woman of color, I experience today's society as challenging. Maintaining my heritage while participating in the world around me requires constant learning and internalization, a process I am passionate about moving toward. Part of my professional work is to create space for conversation, awareness, healing, and connection, around your experience of the world. I welcome your unique history and experiences as they relate to your healing journey.
​
Our bodies and psyches hold the healing we pursue. As we give attention and listen to this intuition, we move along our path toward healing and peace. I encourage you to value this as a means of moving toward your own authentic living.

I believe that we cross paths in ways that are meaningful to our healing.
