WHO I AM

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am currently not seeing clients while I determinedly heal my mind from Complex-PTSD and my body from 50 years of pretending I was okay.

I grew up here in Redding, CA and I love the area's beautiful surroundings. There's something about water, be it the river, the creeks, the water falls, the lakes...that bring me peace. The sounds and sights transport me to an introspective place of calm.

I am the mother of three adult children, the grandmother and BFF to a two year old wonder and the adopted grandmother of many. My husband, Peter, teaches psychology at Shasta College and is the very best husband in the world. My family brings meaning and joy to my life, exemplifying the unconditional love and connection that I try to embody. I want to be authentically me everywhere I go and I want to encourage others to feel safe exploring their own authenticity with me.
