Hello World!

Today I am excited to announce that I have opened a Private Practice in Livermore. For the past 12 years I have been working in an agency setting, providing care and support to children and families while gathering experience and training. Now, as a seasoned therapist, I feel prepared and honored to be providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, families and adults in my own community.

To locals who know me personally, I would appreciate your referrals and recommendations - and if you're willing, a like on my business page and a "share" would make my day.
