I have over 15 years experience in the mental health field and hold a PhD in Depth Psychology (with Emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies) from Pacifica Graduate Institute. As well, I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and completed two years of full-time doctoral study in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I launched my private practice in theSpring of 2014.

My previous experience includes serving as an onsite, personal counselor at Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) where I helped students with emotional, academic, and career difficulties.

Prior to my work at SBCC, I served as a counselor at New Beginnings Counseling Center in Santa Barbara (NBCC). At NBCC I worked both on-site and within our local community with a diverse range of individuals and presenting issues providing counseling, outreach support, and teaching essential life skills to both our homeless population as well as those recovering from co-occurring mood disorders and substance abuse issues.

My areas of research center around psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and integration, Jungian and archetypal film analysis, psychotherapist and career development, as well as how depression and anxiety may serve as useful tools in discovering one's authentic personal or vocational path.
