​

I am blessed to live around the corner from a beautiful foothill retreat monastery,

Mater Dolorosa, where I enjoy partnering with others in counseling, life coaching,

spiritual formation and restorative retreats.

Both in person and through Telehealth. 

​

My formal education and certifications include:

 a Ph.D. and Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy

from Fuller Theological Seminary School of Psychology,

a Master’s degree in Theology and Spiritual Formation

from Fuller Theological Seminary,

a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology and Kinesiology from UCLA.

 Certified as a Professional Life Coach

from (ICF) - International Coaching Federation.

I am also a Camaldolese Benedictine Oblate and Group Spiritual Director.

​

A few personal things.

I gratefully share my life with a husband, two adult daughters, a son-in-law,

and three adorable grandchildren, who I like to spend a lot of time playing with :) 

​

 I am most restored and experience God

when out walking or e biking in the beauty of nature,

strolling through botanical gardens, being by the ocean or exploring sacred spaces. 

I also enjoy inspirational reading, long deep times of quiet reflection,

listening to prayer apps and podcasts, sharing deeply with spiritual companions and friends, 

and playing with food in the kitchen.

​

Let me know how I can be helpful and encouraging to you. 

Look forward to connecting.
