Therapy style
As a seasoned psychotherapist with a rich, multicultural tapestry of experiences, I have made it my life's work to understand and nurture the human spirit. Born from a journey that has traversed multiple continents, cultures, and careers, my practice is more than a profession—it's a calling to heal and empower.
Before settling in the vibrant Bay Area in 2007, my life was a mosaic of global experiences, each piece contributing to my profound appreciation and understanding of the diverse tapestry of human behavior and relationships. This extensive background, combined with my academic grounding in Counseling Psychology (M.A., Marriage & Family), equips me with a unique perspective and an empathetic approach to therapy.
My passion lies in guiding individuals and couples through the complexities of anxiety, depression, past traumas, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. The essence of my practice is to offer a sanctuary—a place where authenticity is nurtured, and resilience is fortified.
As a writer of self-help literature, I extend my commitment to healing and growth beyond the therapy room, aiming to touch more lives and foster healthy, thriving relationships.
I believe in the transformative power of therapy, and my mission is to illuminate the path to self-discovery and empowerment for all who embark on this journey with me. Let's navigate the intricacies of your unique narrative together and embark on a journey toward healing, understanding, and profound personal growth.

Interests
Outside of work, my life is richly filled with family activities, creative pursuits, and physical exercise. I cherish being a mother and spending quality time with my two children and our dog. My artistic side thrives through acrylic painting, and daily meditation sets a peaceful tone for my day. I keep active with tennis and daily runs, while my love for reading spans from academic literature to fiction. Additionally, my interest in research and writing deeply engages me in topics both personal and professional.
