I meet with parents in my Arcadia office for the first session. I want to make sure there is a good fit before you introduce me to your children.

I provide an In-Home Family Therapy (Home-Based Family Counseling) option to Pasadena, Glendale and Arcadia, California, as well as the surrounding areas of the San Gabriel Valley.

I have a subspecialty in Post-Adoption Family Therapy for those families on that life-long journey.

I have completed training from SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted) and am a certified SENG Parent Support Group Facilitator. You will find my professional listing with SENG here.

I invite you to find out about me on my Family Trauma Therapy page. Please explore my Credentials, Services, and Rates.

My style shines through in my blog, Connected Family Fun, LA., where I share ways to have fun with the family while making deeper connections.

LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy is a core value of my practice.

Working with me is convenient and easy. Let’s connect!
