I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC #47693). I graduated from John F. Kennedy University with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. I have practiced at the Women's Therapy Center, the Bay Area's premiere training facility for relational psychotherapy, as well as Albany High School.

My primary interest is in working with women and young adults.

I am also interested in helping people cope with trauma. I am currently completing my certification in Somatic Experiencing; an approach allowing trauma survivors to re-train their bodies to return to a state of relaxed alertness.

People have come to me for help with how to:

• Increase self esteem
• Understand and alleviate depression and/or anxiety
• Find a sense of peace and acceptance as they face loss and grief whether it’s recent or from the past
• Empathize with and understand their romantic partner's perspective
• Navigate life transitions
• Find more satisfaction at school or work
• Form better relationships with others
• Understand and stop addictive behaviors
• Live with chronic pain and the resulting self blame and depression

My professional affiliations include:

• California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT)
• East Bay California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (EBCAMFT)
• The Psychotherapy Institute
• Women's Therapy Center
• Licensed with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences
