I live in Truckee, CA with my husband, and our two adult children are living in Northern CA and Northern Nevada.
My license allows me to serve patients anywhere in California.
Seeking a personal therapist is the one of the greatest acts of self care and self love one can engage in. Whoever you choose, I am confident you will be successful!
We are living through extremely challenging times, with so much uncertainty that is causing loneliness and isolation. Trust me, you are not alone! Whether or not this is your first time seeking therapy or if you are retuning from therapy in the past, your journey continues!
As your mental health provider, first and foremost I want you to feel seen, heard and honored. I know you have a choice when you choose a therapist, and in order to honor that process, I offer a Complimentary Initial Consultation for us to meet and get to know one another so that you feel comfortable moving forward.
