My own personal journey led me to the healing profession. Raised in a family that was poisoned with domestic violence I have used therapy to help overcome challenges and gain insight for growth for more than 30 years. I spent 2018-2022 in Oakland overseeing community mental health teams working with marginalized communities struggling with severe and persistent mental health challenges. Proudly we were able to offer face-to-face services 7 days-per-week throughout Alameda County for the entire pandemic. In 2022 I transitioned to private practice helping couples and individuals navigate relationship challenges.

Licensed since 2018, I earned my master’s degree at the University of Nevada, Reno. After graduation, I spent two years at a community training clinic Hearts and Hands, in Roseville, CA. Hearts and Hands is a high quality therapy for low cost to couples, families, and individuals.
