About

Training and Education

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a BA from Wellesley College and an MA in clinical psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles. I also have an MFA in fine art.

My expertise is in helping you co-create a loving, rewarding, and joyful relationship that is secure functioning and long lasting. I find working with couples enjoyable and deeply satisfying. When I am not in session, I may be found reading, spending time with friends and family, walking in nature, or working with clay.
