Divorce is one of the most difficult transitions in women’s lives. I’ve gone through it myself. Very often when we get married for the first time, we make choices in a partner based on these external influences. We are often young, and we are conditioned to think of ourselves, what we need, and who’s a good partner based on what our family and society tell us. My quest is to help women stand on their own two feet after a divorce, find out who they truly are, and help them live beautiful authentic lives. Believe me, life can get much better when you figure this out. And, I’ll tell you, you can definitely do this.

I was once where you are now. I’ve gone through the confusion, anxiety, depression, struggle, grief, and soul-searching. It’s always a work in progress of course, but it’s so much better when you work through all the issues. Besides doing my own therapy, I practice yoga, enjoy the outdoors, hang out with horses, travel, and write. These activities help me get in tune with my internal self in relation to the rest of the world.

I’ve always wanted to be a therapist. Since I was a child, I was reading psychology books. I graduated from UCLA Summa Cum Laude and Departmental Honors for working on a scientific research project in health psychology. After that, I went to Pepperdine University and obtained my master’s degree in clinical psychology.
