About

Today, people are stressed. There is so much disruption in our routines, relationships, careers, and finances. Even people who have never felt depressed or anxious are reaching out for added support. We are all in a time of transition without a roadmap.

I want to help your life feel better by providing the skills and opportunity for you to make adjustments and changes.

I offer my fresh perspective and multiple evidence-based coping techniques to ease your challenges and improve your state of mind. You will actively patriciate in your counseling. To provide you relief and resolution as soon as possible, I offer treatment strategies aligned with your goals. For example, you can learn to disrupt the negative feedback loop between thoughts, feelings, and behavior with CBT; or use Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) to ease relationship and role conflicts, boost interpersonal skills, or move through a life transition; or apply ACT to get unstuck and motivated to get into action to create a life worth living.

My style is personable and warm. Clients tell me they appreciate the clarity I bring to their situations. I received a B.A. in Psychology at UCLA. I have an MA in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology. I was licensed as a California Marriage and Family Therapist in 1991. Afterward, I worked as a mental health case manager within an insurance company for close to a decade. I trained in life coaching at The Coaches Training Institute in San Rafael, California, and combine coaching into my counseling. I have a School Counselor Credential and was a math teacher in a past life.
