I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Northern California and have been in private practice since 2002.

​

I feel rooted in my orientation as an experiential therapist. AEDP-Accelerated, Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy provides a roadmap for how I work with people and topics such as mindfulness, neuroscience and attachment theory are areas I regularly study from a number of different experts around the world. 

​

The LAB Method is significant part of my orientation when I am working with parents and families.  This method provides a clear framework to better understand what is off balance in a family system.  It is also a very practical method full of tips, tricks, and language that helps families grow closer.

​

I earned a Master of Science degree in Social Work from Columbia University and an undergraduate degree in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Vermont.

​

Over the course of my career as a psychotherapist, I have worked in a variety of settings; corporate, non-profit, community mental health, in-patient and out-patient hospitals (adults and adolescents) and private practice.

​

My experience having a child with epilepsy has lead me to partner with the Founder of the LAB Method, Polly Ely, MFT to co-write a product for families living with epilepsy.  To learn more about the Life Support Project click here.

​

My husband and I have been married for 20 years and have 3 children; twin girls (16 years of age) and a boy (18 years of age). 

​

I am a passionate athlete who keeps discovering more sports to enjoy - running, swimming, biking (road and mountain), skiing, snowboarding, surfing and yoga.
