About me

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA BBS License #53216, ID #8275) with almost 15 years of experience in the Bay Area working with children, adolescents, and families struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, anger control issues, parenting struggles, grief and loss, educational barriers, and more.

I earned a BA in Communication Studies from UCLA, cum laude, and a MS in Counseling from California State East Bay. I have a Certificate in Eating and Weight Disorders, intensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and am a certified Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher. I have extensive experience working within schools and helping families navigate general education and special education social emotional supports.

I believe in the healing power of the human-animal connection, time spent in nature, movement, laughter, nutritious food, laughter and restorative sleep.
