Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I moved to these beautiful mountains in the spring of 2018. I received a BA in American Literature from UC Santa Cruz and a Master in Social Work from San Jose State University. My interest in how we process and work through trauma and suffering led me to extensive training in trauma-informed practice and child-development. I practice meditation as a way of becoming more curious about, and present with, the joys and sorrows of day to day living.
