You've been through so much, and you just want the pain to subside - maybe even something like happiness is possible, you wonder. They say life can be beautiful; you want to feel that unalienable beauty. So many questions weigh on your heart: "Should I make this decision I've been struggling with?" Or, maybe, "I'm different; I don't fit in easily. Can I belong anywhere?" There may be a heavy grief in your chest: "If only, if only..." your mind says over and over, trying to process what happened. You deserve a guide to walk beside you, to shine a light when the path is dark. My dear kindred human, you're not alone.
I am here to walk with you through the great forest – where there’s even a spirit of adventure & profound beauty along the way. You’re looking for a life of meaning, fulfilment & happiness, not just numbing the pain. As your therapist, I bring the best of evidence-based practices to the warmth, relatability and creativity of a great therapeutic relationship.
I’m an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor & Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with Rooted Ethos, supervised by Gwen Pelfini, LPCC. You’re not crazy or bad for feeling the way you feel, and you don’t have to brave the wilderness without a guide. I have openings via telehealth for adults residing in California. Let’s get you living again!
