Life can catch you by surprise.

One day you’re a young adult with a great creative job and some kids. Then, in a blink of an eye, your kids are grown, and there you are in midlife, an empty nester. You feel like you’re losing your identity. You feel stuck and anxious and that is a really hard place to be.

I want to help you to feel empowered to create a life that is true and expressive and rich and exactly the way you want it to be. I pride myself on providing a safe, therapeutic space for my clients, using evidence-based practices to support client therapeutic goal progress.

Passion Meets Purpose

I worked as a creative professional for over 30 years, in both New York and Los Angeles, before earning my master’s degree in clinical psychology at age 60. My own therapy helped me make this life transition by examining my beliefs about myself and what I wanted in the next phase of my journey. It helped me see that I didn’t have to limit myself because of my age and that so much more was open to me.

I love being a therapist and helping people discover what is authentic to them. I have a wealth of lived experience which includes cancer, infertility, and adoption. I believe this experience is a great asset for a therapist to have and helps me bring needed empathy to what my clients are going through.

Outside of the office, I am…

When I’m not seeing clients, you will find me with my hands in clay making ceramics or at home with my husband, son, and two cats..
