I am an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist (AMFT #130076), and am under the supervision of Laura Curry, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT #113832). I am also a Brainspotting practitioner, a Certified First Responder Counselor (CFRC), and am trained in trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT). I am currently accepting new clients throughout California for telehealth therapy sessions.

 I have a soft spot in my heart for those with anxiety, PTSD and other traumas, and have worked extensively with wildfire survivors. My base is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but I tend to use an eclectic approach, based on what is clinically appropriate for my client. I am also an interfaith chaplain, so clients who choose to may also request a more spiritual approach.

 Nature and humor are two great healers, free of charge. When not in the office, I find joy caring for many animals (“love is a four-legged word”), and participating in various rescue efforts. I can regularly be found on the hiking trails around Northern California as a wonderful form of self-care. I believe in finding humor in as many areas of life as possible, and try to live the motto: “The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache” (Marjorie Pay Hinckley).
