Our Bodies Tell the Truth
When we feel unsafe or unsure, it is our body’s way of alerting us that we need security or protection
Our thinking brains may tell us to ignore the body’s cues and messages, but the body cannot lie. My work is to help the body brain and thinking brain communicate more effectively and harmoniously. I am trained in several trauma therapies including EMDR, SuperResourcing, and Family Systems Trauma. I am trained in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) which I use with couples. As a licensed MFT, I work with individuals, couples, families and groups to address and improve areas of concern.
I support clients to identify the roots of their stressors and heal them. Anxiety, or stress, has been shown to contribute to a cascade of physical, emotional and mental health challenges including depression, low self-confidence, substance use, relationship strain, difficulty coping and more. I have extensive experience working with trauma survivors, with couples, and with students. My work and purpose is to help clients connect or reconnect with their best selves: that part of each of us that intuitively knows how to live a full and meaningful life.
When you are ready, I am here to help.

About Me
As a former elementary school computer lab instructor I found that my teacher friends needed support as much as my student friends. Over the years I felt drawn to explore the link between mental health and the environment of education. Would support for teachers result in more connection in classrooms? Would focusing on the emotional wellness of a whole school campus reduce stress, depression and self-harm? The answers are yes. Activities that acknowledge and address emotions foster greater mental, social and emotional connection in any environment.
I help clients to process unhealed wounds relating to loss, weak or difficult connections with caretakers, or trauma. Focusing on attachment and emotions through the lens of body wisdom and somatic experiences allows us to find sometimes elusive roots of anxiety, depression and low self-worth. In sessions we aim to integrate all of the aspects of self and to increase resilience. We may practice mindfulness, develop behavioral modification techniques, explore creativity, or connect with spirituality. We will find what works best for you.

My Location
My office is conveniently located at:
808 Foothill Blvd
Rear Office
La Cañada, CA 91011
Most GPS apps will take you into the wrong parking lot. Instead, turn south on Commonwealth Ave and make a quick right into the parking lot near the sign with my name on it. Drive to the top of that parking area and you will notice a big tree; on the left of the big tree is my office with a bright blue gate. My office is located on eastern most side of the St. George church campus in La Cañada.
