Call me Fia

Purpose

I bring me great joy to support others find ease and acceptance in relationships with self and others. I’ve provided care in a range of therapeutic settings, including private practice, community mental health clinics, middle and high schools, hospice and long-term care facilities, and hospitals.

I bring a love of art, activism, science, community, and nature to my clinical work. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in systems change and social innovation organizations, and museums.

Education

I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley and a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History and Psychology from Middlebury College in Vermont. I am a certified yoga teacher with extensive meditation and healing arts experience.
