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 am a registered parenting specialist in the county of Marin and 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 teenage daughters who challenge me to be my best self every day.
