Proven Success in Supporting Diverse Clients

With a diverse background in sports, entrepreneurship, and mindfulness, I bring a well-rounded perspective to my practice—because let’s face it, life’s a bit more fun when you can bring all your experiences to the table. I also made it a personal challenge to understand all facets of the mental health system, learning how to navigate the disjointed system in a way that helps clients and their families. This comes from my own experience of navigating the mental health system and well-meaning, but often unprepared, therapists who tried to help my brother, who has schizophrenia, for the past 20 years.

I grew up in a family business that had to integrate farming with marketing and navigating laws—quite sophisticated. I built a brand that went nationwide, learning firsthand what it’s like to achieve, be family-oriented, and balance it all while maintaining equanimity.

I know how to guide individuals and families through the most difficult and horrendous circumstances. I understand what it’s like to stay present and navigate “hell realms” with equanimity, supporting you through the toughest challenges. Whether we’re working in-person in Walnut Creek’s peaceful parks, virtually over Zoom, or with my therapy dog Artemis by your side, I’m here to support you through every step of your healing journey—with a little humor along the way.
