I have had a full and unique professional journey. Prior to becoming a therapist in Newport Beach, I worked closely in various roles with leading experts in the areas of medicine, journalism, business, social work and emergency psychiatry. Decades of this work, accompanied later by a master’s degree in psychology and licensure as an MFT has made me an expert myself in the invaluable work of learning about, connecting with and helping people from all walks of life. 

My approach is rooted in a humanistic perspective– I recognize the innate goodness and unique potential in each person. I am most passionate about helping clients who are going through the motions, but not living a life that they truly want to live. I am best known for my wisdom, unique life experience, empathy and calming presence.

I am an Emotionally Focused Therapist and focus on helping couples who are caught in painful cycles rediscover their love and intimacy. Additionally, I am an experienced grief therapist and specialize in supporting women through grief at various stages of life.

I believe that you have within you what you need to find the life you want; therapy is a space where we can work together to uncover it.

Let me help you find your way again.
