l am mindful of You
Therapy is a meeting of the hearts and minds in a mutually caring and respectful relationship. For me as a therapist, healing starts with Mindfulness, with listening and empathy, which promotes understanding and support. I use mindfulness, first, to see the points of resilience, strength and light within YOU. Then, we discover, through mutual trust, the way forward towards the goals that are sacred to you. I'll help you sort out your challenges and face your unique journey with more positivity, power and hope.
As we quiet the noise and give you space to grow and heal, I use evidence-based practice to make your journey easier, transforming grief into light. Together, we can move forward to re-engage in a meaningful life once more.

Life Cycle Coaching
Life is full of metamorphosis! We go through many stages, twists and turns in order to access the wonder and promise of our true potential.
Setting intentions for our lives and getting the right guidance with our goals, transitions, and growth helps us to experience more purpose, joy and meaning.
Depression and Anxiety
We all experience stressors in life that can lead to prolonged confusion, sadness and anxiety.
Having a caring, confidential therapist to talk with is the first step to gaining control of our lives, feeling lighter and more hopeful.
Grief Support
Loss and Grief are a part of
a life well-loved and lived.
Waves of grief wash over us when death steals a loved one and we are left to miss and mourn them. The ache of losing someone we love is the deepest kind of pain. Let me be there for you in your bereavement, honor the ones you have lost and bring comfort to your heart.

About Me
Compassionate Care
I am a compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of California
available for in-office, at-home and tele-therapy. For over 21 years, it has been my honor working in family crisis and mental wellness, including the areas of anxiety, bereavement, chronic illness, caregiving, depression, grief, geriatrics, special abilities, as well as life-cycle stress and achievement and life-coaching. Using a mindful, strengths-based approach, my goal is to guide you towards YOUR authentic self.
Personally, I spend my mindful time with family, art, writing, gardening, singing, and spiritual studies. My favorite pastime is hanging out with my dog, Teddy, or any furry or feathered friends I can find!

Personal Experience
The last 16 years in the Los Angeles area have been very precious to me. In raising my children with special needs, I have learned much about the resilience of the human spirit. Fighting for my children's rights and serving as a counselor for families with Chronic illnesses has expanded my expertise in educational and medical advocacy, as well as assisting with caregiver stress. Using evidence-based interventions, plus creative therapies, I offer self-expression, understanding and acceptance that inspires meaningful living.
I look forward to meeting you!
