For more than 10 years, I have served Bay Area families in need as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (California license #40861). As the founder and owner of Bay Area Family and Parent Counseling, Inc., I teach couples undergoing separation or divorce how to implement parenting practices that will maximize their child’s success.

Services I provide include: co-parent counseling; creating and implementing parenting plans; divorce and custody mediation; parenting coordination (special master); brief focused assessments; and custody evaluations.

Prior to founding Bay Area Family and Parent Counseling, Inc., I was co-director of the Restorative Justice Program North County. I’ve also served as a youth intervention worker, and as a therapist for adults, adolescents, and children at CHAC (Community Health Awareness Council), as well as a therapist in private practice.

I hold an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco and a B.A. in Sociology from the University of California, Santa Cruz.  I’m also an Association of Family Conciliation Courts trained parenting coordinator, child custody evaluator and skilled mediator.
