After suffering a dramatic loss, I acted upon a long held desire to shift my career away from business and toward a profession where I could make a positive impact on others.  Being a therapist feeds my head and my heart - I feel so grateful to be doing this work!

 

I received my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California.  I have training in AEDP, Advanced Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, which is based on attachment theory and is steeped in somatic awareness. I also have a background in Family Systems theory and family systems in addiction.  I have trained with Fluence and Journey Clinical to gain knowledge and understanding of KAP  - ketamine assisted psychotherapy and am a level one Brainspotting practitioner. As well as being a registered parenting specialist in the county of Marin, I have trained with Polly Ely, the founder of the Lab Method for parents.  

​

My passion for helping parents is inspired by my love of family and by my 2 young adult daughters who inspire me to be my best self every day.
