I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of experience in psychotherapy. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco.

Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of community-based mental health settings—including in-home therapy, intensive outpatient programs, supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. I’m passionate about supporting the emotional wellbeing of children and families.

In 2007, I completed the Infant-Parent Mental Health Fellowship Program through the University of Massachusetts Boston, training under Ed Tronick and Kristie Brandt.

In 2008, I co-founded the Infant Parent Center, a nonprofit organization. With a special emphasis in pregnancy, postpartum anxiety/depression, parenting, trauma, and attachment with families and children 0-3.

I have extensive experience supervising interns and licensed therapists, as well as providing consultation and reflective practice support to educators working with families and young children.

In 2021, I transitioned from agency work to focus on my private practice in El Dorado Hills, the community where I have joyfully raised my three boys.
