I earned my Masters degree in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University and became a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 1994. I have enjoyed many years of working with a diverse client population in many different life circumstances.

My experience in the field includes county mental health services, community counseling, crisis, emergency mental health and shelter services, school counseling, foster care social work, and clinical intern supervision and program management.

My areas of clinical experience include individual, couples and family therapy addressing issues of trust and intimacy, communication and interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, addiction and dependency issues, grief and anger management, and the navigation of major life transitions such as retirement, divorce, and acculturation. I also provide compassionate, affirming support for neurodivergent clients.

My education combined with more than 35 years of experience in inpatient, residential, community and educational programs bestow professional and lived experience to support clients and provide hope through their journey. I am passionate about helping clients overcome life’s challenges with compassion, insight, and evidence-based care.
