I completed my undergraduate studies at, Mills College with a degree in Philosophy in 2007 and an MFA in Writing and Consciousness at, California Institute of Integral Studies in 2017. I’m in my final semester of my MA in Counseling Psychology program at CIIS while working as an MFT Trainee at the non-profit, Redwood Community Services in Adult Behavioral Services. These experiences have added a crosswalk in my approach to therapy. A crosswalk between what is medically needed to a more amorphous and creative approach when co-collaborating in a therapeutic space. Modalities I use are Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
As of August 2024, I will be a doctoral student in CIIS’ Integral and Transpersonal Psychology program. Data collecting through non-profit organizations focussed on wellness in clients and community has stoked my interest in research and development in the field. Developing a clinical practice to promote wellness through community treatment of mental health and spiritual wellbeing for both dominant and non-dominant cultures is a personal and philosophical journey, and an essential component to a healthy society.
