About me
When you are looking for help, it is so important that you find someone with experience, right?
As a mom myself, I understand the challenges that come with bringing home
a baby and how it can affect your relationship.
I know what it takes to stay on the same page with your partner and nurture your marriage each day. I also know the shift from independence to planning and coordinating schedules to meet your children’s needs, while balancing being a mother, partner, friend, daughter, and professional.
is to help you find ways to feel less exhausted,
communicate more effectively with your partner,
and actually enjoy this time as a family.

My Goal?
I have worked in the field of psychology for over 20 years.
Over that time, I have found great joy in working with new parents and new moms. I have facilitated different classes, including Mine, Yours, Ours: Relationship Survival Guide to Baby’s 1st Year, which I developed after my first child was born.

I am a Certified Gottman Educator, qualified to facilitate their Bringing Home Baby program, and have Postpartum Support International’s (PSI) Perinatal Mood Disorders Certification.
I also served for over 10 years as the California State Co-Coordinator for PSI in the Greater Sacramento Area, offering resources and advocacy for perinatal mental health.
Before focusing on couples and parenting work, I was a credentialed school psychologist supporting children with learning differences. That experience still shapes how I understand child development and how parents can best support their kids.
