Therapist

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a specialty in maternal mental health — supporting people through pregnancy, the postpartum period, and the emotional transitions that come with becoming a parent. My background in home health, hospice, and hospital-based care has given me a deep appreciation for the whole person, not just the presenting concern. I see clients virtually in the evenings, so getting support that actually fits your life is something I take seriously.

Becoming a mother changes everything — your body, your identity, your relationships, your sense of self. But even before motherhood, life has a way of piling on. Maybe you’re a college student juggling everything at once, a working woman with too many open tabs and not enough hours, or a mom running on empty wondering when it became this hard. Whether you’re navigating postpartum anxiety, pregnancy loss, burnout, life transitions, or just that feeling that you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way — you deserve more than just getting through the day. This space is for you!

Therapist

Virtual • California


My path to this work has not been linear. I spent seven years at the VA working in a shelter setting with veterans in active crisis. That role was not traditional mental health therapy. It was showing up every day for people in some of the hardest circumstances imaginable, assessing for safety, connecting people to the right resources, and managing situations that required both calm and decisive action. I learned more about human resilience in those years than anywhere else.

Before and alongside the VA, I built experience in medical social work, school-based mental health with children, and home health. My background is clinical across the lifespan and rooted in medical and community settings. I bring that same groundedness to private practice.

I am an LCSW with 15 years of experience and an MSW from San Jose State University. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and the weight of managing a full life. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Motivational Interviewing, and I adapt my approach to the person in front of me.

I have lived in the Truckee Tahoe area off an on for over 30 years, I have an AA Degree in Early Child Development, a BA Degree from the University of California Santa Cruz, and I attended the University of. Nevada, Reno for my Masters in Social Work.

My husband and I have two grown children who live in Northern CA and Nevada. We are avid skiers, mountain bikers, and my hobbies include cooking, art, writing, and learning, and of course, playing with our mini golden doodle, Joaquin.

My roots are in Scranton, Pennsylvania; growing up, life was challenging and unpredictable for me and my sisters. I was the first member of our extended family who was able to put themselves through both undergraduate (BA - Latin American Studies/UCSC, and graduate school (MSW- Masters in Social Work, (UNR) and graduate with honors.

All three of my younger sisters followed in my footsteps to pursue higher education and to find success as Professionals.

My husband and I moved to the Tahoe/Truckee area together in the early 1990s, pursuing seasonal employment. We somehow made ends meet, things got a little easier each year, and he later pursued a career in resort and business management, while I pursued continuing education, mental health and licensure, and opening up my practice.

Our son and a daughter both grew up enjoyed attending local public schools in Truckee, and later the Univeristy of California; they are both living fulfilling adult lives in the nearby region.

I received my PhD from Fuller Graduate School of Psychology and have experience in community mental health, university counseling center, and hospital settings. I also worked as a professor at Fuller Graduate School of Psychology and as a clinical supervisor for doctoral students before transitioning to my current full-time private practice. I enjoy working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and spiritual/faith-related concerns. I believe authenticity and humility are essential qualities in an effective therapist, which is why I am committed to my own ongoing personal growth and development as part of my clinical role.
