About Me

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT#128560) and specialize in therapy for women of all ages and teens.  I believe the therapeutic space and the relationship between the therapist and the client is an important one.  Connecting with your therapist is essential.  I strive to create a safe and accepting environment to meet you where you are, to work with you to understand your needs, to help you identify your goals and to help you heal and grow. I bring 20 years of Corporate sector experience to this field, in addition to my clinical experience listed below.   

 

I invite you to have a 20-minute phone consultation with me to see if I am the right fit for you. I can answer any questions about what to expect from therapy and how therapy can help you.
