Olivia currently offers in-person psychotherapy services in Pacific Grove, CA as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) #115228 and Certified Hakomi Therapist.

Olivia obtained her Master's degree in Integral Counseling Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco. Her alma mater reflects her value system of taking a grounded approach to The Perennial Philosophy integrating Eastern and Western thought. As a transpersonal therapist, she brings non-dual wisdom traditions including Buddhism, non-dual versions of Christianity, and the New Thought movement to the process of deep inquiry. Prior to her clinical training, Olivia became a Certified Subtle Energy Medicine Practitioner and had been working formally with subtle energy since 2007.
Psychotherapy is a second career for Olivia. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Principia College in Illinois. Her earlier career in web design/development included management experience in education, non-profit publishing, human resources, and e-commerce. Born and raised in California, Olivia has also lived in the midwest and on the east coast. She loves animals, and works with her Shiba Inu as a therapy dog.
