Thank you for visiting my website!
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern and Coach-Parenting™ Certified Coach. I offer individual and couples therapy, as well as parenting support and coaching to families in central Contra Costa County in the San Francisco East Bay Area. I provide psychotherapy services on a sliding scale through Oak Creek Counseling Center, a nonprofit organization in Pleasant Hill, California. I also lead a postpartum support group called the Postpartum Emotional Recovery Circle.
As a therapist, I am experienced working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, grief and loss, and parenting stress. Areas of specialization include postpartum depression, parent-infant bonding difficulties, and parents raising a “spirited” child.
I founded and directed The Nurture Center, a store and resource center for new parents, in Lafayette, CA for eight years. I am a Certified Lactation Educator, and have years of experience leading new parent support groups and helping parents with feeding, sleep, infant care and the sometimes challenging transition to parenthood. I am also the mother of three children, a survivor of postpartum depression and anxiety, and I have parented a spirited child, so I’ve been there!
