About

Your well-being is in caring hands. As long as I can remember, my interest in understanding emotions and having close and thriving relationships was a driving force in my life. I knew I was more sensitive than the average person and viewed it as a flaw or something I needed to change. It wasn’t until I worked with a therapist that my view of myself began to change and I embraced my deep feelings and intuition as a superpower. After years of growth, self discovery and much healing,I developed a passion for helping sensitive people work through the pain of their past, celebrate their empathic nature, and create a life that supports their temperament to find joy, peace and connection in a fulfilling way, just as I have in my own journey. While working for over 22 years as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #38399), with a wide variety of clients, my greatest strength emerged when helping sensitive women manage emotions, improve mood instability and strengthen close relationships. I received my Bachelors from U.C. Davis in 1995 and my Masters from Fuller School of Psychology in 1998. I am also a Certified Life Coach, helping women create and achieve goals to move them towards living a life they love. The work of healing the past is deeply tied to how you live in the present and the future. When you are able to feel more love for yourself and become more confident, you can create a future in alignment with who you are and what you want. My clients tell me they feel relief when we start working together. They feel like I get them and can finally see a path for healing. In the beginning of treatment, we will discuss all treatment options and I’ll offer recommendations, but ultimately the decisions are yours. I collaborate with you on your therapy needs and customize my style based on what would be effective for you.
