Sometimes I have to pinch myself! 20-years ago, if you had asked me what I would be doing in my 60s, I certainly would not have said, practicing psychotherapy. I would probably have told you that I missed my chance to go to graduate school way back in the 80’s. But transformation is a funny thing, exponential in nature.

At the age of 49.5, I entered a women’s substance abuse treatment program, with humility and surrender. My willingness to take such a leap as the youngest of my children was heading off to college and the oldest was about to become a mother, began to build upon itself. A couple years later, I handed over our family business to my husband and with the same beginner’s mind attended Dominican University’s MS in Counseling Psychology program. I found my way to some remarkable internships in end-of-life and grief settings and ultimately to a robust private practice where I now serve adult individuals and couples.

I want you to know about the great sense of joy and calm that I experience as a result of being in the right place, doing the right thing. Becoming a therapist has truly been an answer to a calling!

Whatever obstacle gets in the way of living your life fully be it: unresolved disturbances, trauma, attachment wounds, grief and loss, substance abuse issues, or difficulty communicating as a couple, we can develop a plan and work on this together.

I now work out of a virtual office, which means that I can invite you to my practice regardless of which region of CA you call home.
