After twenty years of working in technology, I left corporate life to become a licensed mental health counselor. My calling is to learn, embrace and teach Mindfulness, Acceptance and Compassion. It is my my mission to help clients be present with their thoughts without being at their mercy, and to help them connect and value themselves as a human "being", and not a human "doing". I am inspired to teach people how to treat themselves like a kind and loving friend and see that the critical judge in their head does not tell the truth and does not have their best interest at heart. My method is grounded in empathy and specified to your unique needs, preferences, and situations. My style is compassionate, collaborative, active and engaging. I infuse Mindful Self-Compassion and Positive Psychology into the work I do because when we trust ourselves to uncover strengths, we see they are the path to healing. In addition to being a therapist and coach, I am a funny, compassionate, positive energy source – A wife, friend, sister, daughter, yogi and parent to my rescue hound named Gouda.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Healdsburg, California, providing individual therapy, couples counseling, and grief counseling. I received my Masters and Doctoral degrees in clinical psychology from the Wright Institute, Berkeley, a program fully accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). I completed my APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship at the Institute of Living, in Hartford, Connecticut, and my APA-accredited post-doctoral residency at Kaiser Permanente, in San Rafael, California. I have worked in a variety of settings, including community mental health clinics, public schools, and an in-patient psychiatric unit (Hartford Hospital). In addition to providing individual therapy, I have run numerous therapy groups and classes, including an adult life skills group, a relationship group, and groups for those suffering from anxiety and depression. I have taught classes on assertiveness, job interviewing, effective communications, emotional regulation, and mindfulness. I have received specialized training in couples counseling, working with people in grief, and helping adults with ADHD. I have provided psycho-educational assessments for students at both public and private schools in the Bay Area, and for college and graduate students at UC San Francisco, UC Berkeley, San Francisco State University, and the University of San Francisco. I have also conducted assessments for the California Department of Rehabilitation, Hartford Hospital, and Kaiser Permanente. I am experienced with the testing requirements of several testing and licensing boards, including the College Board (SAT), ACT, GMAT, LSAT, and the National Board of Medical Examiners. I have specialized in testing adolescents and adults for ADHD and learning difficulties. Prior to becoming a clinical psychologist, I worked for 20 years in corporate communications and public relations in the United States and in Europe. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree (with honors) in European Studies (French and Italian) from the University of Bath, England.

As a multiethnic clinician with health challenges and chronic pain, I felt inspired to get my masters at Cal Lutheran University so that I could focus my training and practice in helping diverse populations while also focusing on helping those impacted by chronic pain and illness. I have Masters of Science in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Latino Counseling. Incorporating my own personal experiences with chronic pain and health challenges makes the work I do in my practice so meaningful. I have also now expanded in helping families and couples navigating infertility to postpartum. Being a support to those experiencing infertility, infant loss, other forms of grief and trauma are other areas of focus. Specifically for the past 7 years, most of my practice has helped individuals with by chronic pain, chronic illness, medical trauma, health anxiety, life transitions and relationship stressors.
