I have a passion for coming alongside others and believe it's just part of my DNA as a human being. 25 years ago I began my career as a medical assistant and a teacher.

I've lived overseas with kids in tow, and have a deep understanding of the effects of betrayal, infidelity, and cross addictions. I've worked as a Hospice Spiritual and Bereavement Coordinator, a counselor at several crisis houses and transitional living centers, as well for non-profit agencies providing therapeutic services.

Conflict and emotional pain are part of being human, but they don’t have to leave you feeling hopeless or disconnected.

Together, we’ll work on building your capacity to connect more deeply, approach yourself and others with greater empathy and warmth, and manage emotions so they don’t lead to withdrawal, explosive reactions, or disconnection.

My philosophy is change starts from the inside out with a choice and realization that it is for our higher good. As part of the human experience, there are times when unexpected losses, betrayals or traumatic events can leave us feeling alone with a host of negative emotions, feeling stuck in grief, anger, bitterness, anxiety and depression.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of California. I completed my Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California (USC) with an emphasis in Military Social Work, and received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley.
