No Freud. No Nonsense. Just Therapy that Makes Sense.

Yes, you can change up your mood/relationship/life/fill in the blank!

I inspire individuals by using a modern therapy model to take small steps for big gains so they can get out of bed every morning and enjoy their life. Having 25 years experience employing a myriad of modalities, I also help clients connect their dots to examine potential ineffective patterns limiting their ability to thrive.

My passion for empowering others began when my daughter required the first of three brain surgeries. Rather than feel helpless, I got going. Seeing a need to create hope for the young patients and their families, I co-founded Healing Arts Reaching Kids at CHLA in Los Angeles, and worked diligently on committees along with the hospital Board to enact change. In addition, I aligned with the neuro and brain research community to recognize a vascular brain condition which was relatively unknown at the time. From there I began an alternative healing and coaching practice which led to my ultimate desire to become a marriage and family therapist assisting others in navigating the immense complexities of life.

My vast lived experience allows me to connect with clients on a deeper level. I am your judgement-free zone and am not the therapist who stares uncomfortably at you repeating “mhmmm”, or relies on psychological jargon. We’ll work as a team (laughter included!), and you will leave our sessions empowered by seeing your patterns more clearly. Together as co-creators of change, you will develop the skills you need to move through life with more ease and discover the deeper understanding of who you are. Therapy is not always easy, and I will walk alongside you as you navigate challenges and wins.
