Cascata Psychotherapy

As a native Californian of Italian descent, I have always valued my roots and the diverse cultures that surround me. My journey in the professional world began in the Bay Area, where I immersed myself in the contemporary art scene leading me to Los Angeles, which I now call home. Working alongside artists and creatives, I gained a broader perspective on culture, identity, and humanity. However, despite the enriching experiences, I felt a void within myself. It was during a period of personal challenges and battles with depression that I embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery. Through this process, I was able to reconnect with myself and create a meaningful life.
 

Vipassana meditation became an integral part of my healing journey, allowing me to cultivate mindfulness and inner joy. I savor moments spent at the ocean, being in nature, gardening, learning about our many plant allies, and observing the mystical transformation of caterpillars into butterflies in the garden. Additionally, I find spiritual connection by sitting at the altar with my ancestors, as I aspire to be a good ancestor myself. As a proud mom to a rescued shih-tzu, I have experienced the compassion, resilience, and wisdom that animals teach us. I also have a passion for exploring different cuisines and believe that food serves as a universal language that bridges cultural differences.

I am committed to helping others on their own journeys of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth - rewriting their own stories. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their emotions, find their inner strength, align with their values, and discover what truly brings joy and meaning to their lives.
