About
I am dedicated to helping people let go of suffering and actualize their potential. My work is inspired by my own experience of having cancer, which prompted me to re-examine my life and leave a 10-year business career to pursue my calling as a psychotherapist and leadership coach. I love helping others harness life’s challenges in order to grow from them. Let’s turn lemons into lemonade.
I am licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences LMFT #79282, and hold an MBA from Harvard Business School and an MA from the California Institute of Integral Studies. Outside of clinical work, I am a writer, speaker, teacher, and mother to a firecracker of a daughter. I am passionate about spreading the messages of purpose, forgiveness, and inner peace. A growing area of passion is liberation from the difficulties engendered by narcissism. I educate and coach people and organizations on emotional and concrete methods to eradicate and/or manage in the face of narcissism, in service of a healthier workplace, life, and planet.
I have been featured on Harvard Business Review’s Fomo Sapiens, Sharecare’s RadioMD, and Ariana Huffington’s Thrive Global. Everything I do is greatly influenced by my spiritual path.
