I’m glad you’ve landed on my website. I grew up in Monterey, California. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from University of California, Santa Barbara and my Masters of Arts in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Brandman University. I worked for years within a school district providing mental health counseling for students and their families as well as teaching parenting classes. I currently work with children and their families out of my private practice in Campbell, California. I enjoy nature, gardening, hiking, kayaking, writing, arts and crafts and spending time with my family.

Using a solution-focused, strength based approach I collaboratively help clients develop and obtain achievable goals. I also integrate Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy & Art Therapy techniques. The focus is on feeling better by boosting self-esteem, building a tool box of coping skills, and helping clients become aware of their inner strengths all while reducing unwanted negative thoughts. We achieve this by coming up with solutions to problems, by building a strong therapeutic relationship, and by following a customized treatment plan.

I believe that by working through life's ups and downs it is possible for everyone to be the best version of themselves. I offer a positive, supportive environment where my clients can grow interpersonally while developing and strengthening the skills necessary to thrive in daily living. I believe in the power of hope and that change is not only possible, but also likely. One of my hopes is that clients leave my office feeling better than they did when they walked in.

At home has there been a life change, new addition, or loss? Is it hard for everyone to get along? When was the last time things at home were peaceful?
