We all have many roles in our lives. Mine began as a New Yorker, the youngest of 3, who felt very inspired to write. It made sense. From a very early age, I was interested in the human voice, emotional truth and had a deep desire to understand the human mind. I loved connecting with people and was always appreciative of people’s perspectives, strengths and resilience. A few years after college, I enjoyed many years as a successful television writer. But after marrying and becoming a mom, that interest for emotional truth and understanding pulled me in a new direction. I made a big change and opened the door to a new career. I attended Antioch University/Los Angeles where I received a Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy. While there, I began training at the Southern California Counseling Center, dedicated to community mental health. I worked with teens in crisis at Teen Line and began working in private practice.

​I’ve held many roles: mother, daughter, sister, wife, aunt, friend, student, mentor, griever… but one thing I always return to is emotional truth. I live in my own and want others to have that same experience. It is why I am a therapist. If nowhere else, I want people to feel like someone gets and understands them. I’ve learned, and I suppose have always known,  that’s the most lasting path towards change.
