I hold an MA in psychology from Antioch University and an MFA in cinematic arts from University of Southern California. I work in an IOP facility in Santa Monica where I use these skills to facilitate trauma and attachment healing, core processing work that I also weave into my private practice.
I mentor and support various professional trainings I have long since completed, including Authentic Relating (ART), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and more. I have assisted full trainings with SE faculty members Abi Blakeslee, Raja Selvam, Ariel Giaretto, and Debra Clydesdale. If you are currently a participant in a Somatic Experiencing training, I am an SEI-approved session provider at All Levels, so I can sign off on your personal sessions.
