I came to this field through a sense of compassionate awareness that was living in my heart from as early as I can remember. My own healing journey has been a process of learning how to enter into my own heart, and then becoming a guide for others in this process.
I have studied with world-renowned thought leaders teaching in the fields of spirituality, psychology and somatics. I have had the privilege of working alongside advanced thinking medical doctors and health professionals. After close to thirly years in this field I have gained an understanding that is effective and practical. There is nothing more rewarding for me than to awaken the power within an individual to heal and create a more joyful, loving and beneficent life.
I am a licensed psychotherapist (MFT42677) and hold both a Masters in Speech (Human) Communication and a Masters in Clinical Psychology.
I have trained with cutting-edge doctors in the field of mind/body or integrative medicine, including Dr. O. Carl Simonton, (Psycho-Social Medicine), Dr. Gerald Jampolsky, (Attitudinal Healing), Dr. William Emerson, (Regressive Birth Trauma Resolution Therapy), Dr. James Gordon, (The Center for Mind/Body Medicine), Dr. Mark Hyman (Functional Medicine) and Harvard Medical School (Lifestyle Medicine: Protocols for Stress Management).
I’ve worked as a holistic counselor since 1984 and as a psychotherapist in the field of Marriage & Family Therapy since 2001. In addition to my University deg rees, I have certifications and trainings in the following therapeutic modalities: Lifestyle Medicine, Hypnosis, Hakomi Trauma Recovery, Holotropic & Birth Trauma Regression Breathwork, Mind-Body Medicine, Food As Medicine, Micronutrients for Mental Health, Nutritional Educator, Gestalt Therapy, Focusing, Guided Imagery (with Jeanne Achterberg), Inter-Personal and Intra-Personal Mediation, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Past-Life Regression Therapy (with Brian Weiss) and Gottman Relationship Therapy.
Along with my private practice I've counseled patients at the Health & Healing Clinic, an integrative medical clinic of the California Pacific Medical Center, San Francisco under psychiatrist, Dr. Elisabeth Targ. I also treated individuals and served as the group counselor at the AIDS Alternative Healing Program of the Quan Yin Acupuncture Clinic.
I am a faculty member (2008 - present) at the Western Institute for Social Research in Berkeley, a masters level, multi-culturally focused, clinical psychology program.
