About Me

About Me

Intuitive, warm, humorous, and grounded are words others have used to describe me. Born and raised near the Santa Monica mountains, my path, like many, has meandered and entailed a variety of experiences that influence how I show up.  I have worked with youth and families for nearly a decade as a community-based therapist and have been involved with doula work for over five years. Birth work became my passion while volunteering in Labor and Delivery at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and in the Alameda County Jail with the Birth Justice Project.  Prior to that I helped start school gardens and implement environmental and food systems education in Northern New Mexico. 

When not working I enjoy exploring the woods outside my home in Truckee, practicing yoga, or being creative.
