I am a licensed psychotherapist in the East Bay with over 20 years experience. I am currently providing in-person and virtual sessions. I look forward to working with you.
FIND ME
I began my professional work in forensics. I worked on capital cases, adult and juvenile felony charges, and in Felony Drug Court and Veterans Treatment Court. This gave me the opportunity to work with people affected by a wide spectrum of mental health conditions. This experience demonstrated to me that each of us carries the potential for change.
After relocating to the Bay Area in 2015, I opened my private practice to focus on working with teens and adults who struggle with worried or depressed thoughts, traumatic memories, life transitions, and loss. I believe that you have the resilience and ability to work through your life changes and challenges.
It has been my privilege to witness the awakening of an immense inner strength within my clients-a strength that comes with learning to make conscious decisions about how they want to live. I look forward to working with you on your immediate and long term goals. Our collaboration will be personalized, and I will use my experience and knowledge to guide you in discovering more and more about yourself, so that you too can live the life you want.
