Please describe your professional experience (this will be used on Therapist Finder)
Therapy for adults whose lives may look good from the outside—but feel heavy on the inside.
With more than thirty years of experience, I bring deep clinical expertise to complex life challenges. My background allows me to bring practical insight, deep experience, and a grounded, compassionate, adaptable presence to our partnership.
I provide person-centered, relational, and attachment-informed therapy focused on helping you step out of old protective survival strategies and create patterns that truly serve you today. Our work is strength-based and fully tailored to your unique neuro-processing profile and life experience.
Specialties:
Life Transitions & Relational Growth: Support for college launching, career changes, empty nesting, retirement, and shifting interpersonal patterns.
Parkinson’s, Dementia, & Caregiver Support: 7 years of specialized clinical experience at the Stanford Neuroscience Health Center helping diagnosed individuals and family care partners navigate identity shifts, grief, and burnout.

Additionally, my background in Employee Assistance consulting, caregiver support groups, home care services, Human Resource consulting and as a Social Worker at Stanford’s Neuroscience Center give me a unique perspective to assist you with information and resources, as well.
