As a trans woman and somatic therapist, I have an embodied and practical understanding of how transphobia and cissexism can impact our relationships to our bodies. I primarily work with transgender, nonbinary, and queer adults, as well as couples living in California.

During my undergraduate studies in dance, I was introduced to the field of somatics. From there, while working with peers to construct a gender/name document change library for Trans LifeLine, I developed an interest in neuropsychology.

Through California Institute of Integral Studies, I received a Masters in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Somatic Psychotherapy. During my time at CIIS, I focused my studies on the experiences of transgender adults, primarily transgender women.

I have received clinical hours through Queer LifeSpace, and currently work at Center for Mindful Psychotherapy.
