Hi, I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Life Coach in the Bay Area, and for the past 10 years I’ve had the privilege of working alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate both life’s challenges and its turning points. A big part of my background comes from my years as a high school counselor, where I supported teens and their parents through the ups and downs of adolescence. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for the ways family dynamics, communication, and self-understanding shape our wellbeing—and it continues to influence the way I show up for my clients today. In our work together, I draw from a range of approaches—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Somatic Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method; instead, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs, always with a trauma-informed and compassionate perspective. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel understood, encouraged, and empowered to create lasting change. On a personal note, I’ve been with my husband for 14 years, and life at home is full with our two daughters and two dogs. My personal and professional life have both taught me the importance of balance, connection, and compassion—values I bring into the therapy room with every client I meet. If you’re here, it probably means you’re ready for something to shift—and I’d be honored to be part of that journey with you.
