Hello and welcome to my practice! I have been in the therapy field for over 20 years and have worked with a diverse range of individuals, teens and families. I have spent many of those 20 years working at Kaiser Permanente and am now able to spend time offering my therapy services in private practice. I have worked with challenges that range from mood and worry issues, life transitions, parenting difficulties, and general wellness concerns. I also consider myself to be an ally to communities of color and the LGBTQ community.

I taught elementary school, grades 4-8 for 17 years before going back to school to get my Masters and become a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have enjoyed working with mostly individual adults over the last 34 years and couples. I believe that the work of therapy is about the relationship we form with the therapist in our work to become whole and healthy adults. I am semi-retired, work one day a week still enjoying the work I do with my clients.

I believe in the holistic approach to healing and integrate many different modalities, theories and techniques to tailor each session to your individual needs.

I provide a really laid back atmosphere where it feels comfortable to share and be yourself.

The clients I worked with reported symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, work-life balance, and other personal stressors.

When the passion of your relationship plateaus, what's next? When your relationship reaches milestones such as the birth or departure of children, are you struggling with the adjustment? How strong is the foundation of your friendship? Do you feel that your partner understands you in essential ways?

Conflict in relationship is normal; it's how you manage conflict that matters. There are clear and learnable skills that will deepen your friendship and love.
