Call me Fia

Purpose

I find great joy in supporting others find ease and acceptance in relationships with self and others. I’ve provided care in a range of therapeutic settings, including community mental health clinics, middle and high schools, hospice and long-term care facilities, hospitals, and my private practice. I have enjoyed working with individuals across life stages from early childhood to end-of-life.

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

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.
