My Story

I am a California-based licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience working in grief, loss, and bereavement.
Working with people at end-of-life and helping families through the grief process has given me deep insights into and expertise in helping people heal through loss. This experience has also given me a different perspective on living, the importance of embracing the life you have, and making choices that impact your quality of life for the better. We all have obstacles, challenges, and encounter loss at some point during our lifetime. My personal experience with infertility has deepened and broadened my understanding of this journey.
I believe connection, safety, non-judgement, and holding space is the foundation for successful psychotherapy. I’ve been told that my presence is calming, centering, and makes others feel at ease quickly. I have training in mindfulness, self-compassion skills, cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, guided imagery, and grief and loss. It would be my honor to assist you on your healing journey.
