Personal Statement

I believe understanding and embracing your true nature is core to living a more authentic and fulfilling life. When deeply connected to who you are, experiences feel more authentic and relationships more genuine and caring. You have greater self-love, self-acceptance and self-compassion, and can handle challenging experiences and difficult decisions with greater confidence and ease.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in San Carlos, California, I provide support to develop healthier relationships, improve self-esteem and alleviate anxiety and depression. My approach is warm, engaged, inquisitive and intuitive taking into account body, mind, heart and true nature. I believe connecting more deeply with who you are can improve your quality of life and enhance your connection with others. I guide you to look within, be with your truth and uncover more of your innate value.
