I'll empower you to lead YOUR definition of a successful life. Whether you're a veteran, anxiety-filled parent, or deciding the future of your marriage, you don't have to face this difficult time alone. I have 20+ years of experience to offer, including working with those who have been reluctant to initiate therapy in the first place. I specialize in problem gambling, addictions, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, and men's issues. I bring a personal and professional understanding of blended family issues and the unique demands of biracial/bicultural issues.

My teaching experience led me to becoming a therapist. I love helping people maximize their potential.

Yoga, hiking, and loving my dog.

I meditate for 20 minutes every day using the 6 phases by Visen Lakhiani.

Girl Scouts — it turns little girls into confident women. And, who doesn’t love Girl Scout cookies?

I hike and practice yoga. I enjoy being outdoors, mostly at the beach.

I have a mixed terrier breed named Honey. I was packing my suitcase to go on a weekend trip and Honey was following me around my room. I lost sight of her and after searching for a few minutes found her curled up in my opened suitcase. She wanted a vacation too.
