I believe in the capacity for all human beings to live a life of authenticity and meaning with joy, contentment and freedom. With support, we can find the strength to face our fears and find our way out of the dark when it doesn't seem possible. Therapy is extremely effective when the client and therapist can dialogue with candor and truth. I meet my clients where they are, beyond labels and diagnoses and work hard to make them feel seen, heard and supported.

I work with adults, older adults and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, grief, relationships, anger, loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, and self-image. Many of my clients have experienced childhood trauma, divorce, illness, fear of death, relationship problems, loss of meaning, work issues and figuring out “what’s next”.

Over the years, I have completed suicide, crisis, and anxiety/depression trainings and I am Level 1 Certified in Emotion Focused Individual Therapy.

I have an affinity for college students previously working at Canada College and Palo Alto University.

I love what I do, and became a therapist after many years in the technology and business world (working in sales and management at start-ups and blue-chip companies). I bring much life experience into my therapy practice. I am a dedicated Mom to three children and enjoy family get-togethers, golf, tennis and am looking forward to more travel in the years to come.
