Both Can Be True

Welcome Beautiful Souls! I am Nona-
a licensed marriage and family therapist, intuitive guide, business consultant, professor, speaker, and lifelong believer in the power of authentic connection.

For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of working across the landscape of mental health — from community-based care, clinical settings, and residential treatment to education and private practice. I’m a clinical supervisor for emerging therapists and a proud professor in the Graduate Counseling Psychology program at the University of San Francisco, Sacramento campus. My work has always been rooted in fostering growth, healing, and expansion — for individuals, communities, and teams.

Alongside my clinical work, I offer intuitive services including Human Design, astrology, tarot, and oracle readings to help people reconnect with their truest, most aligned selves. I also lead transformational digital courses, workshops, and immersive experiences designed to support emotional wellness, embodied leadership, and authentic living.

Through my business consulting offerings, I partner with organizations to cultivate healthy, connected, and emotionally intelligent teams — creating cultures where people thrive both personally and professionally.

As a speaker, I bring heart, energy, and deep expertise to stages and spaces, covering topics like crisis care, burnout and compassion fatigue, reconnecting to joy, authentic leadership, mental wellness practices, self-care for healers, community care, and building confidence within individuals and teams. I’m also a parent to three incredible children — two teens and one school-aged — and a proud partner to a remarkable educator, so I understand firsthand the beauty and complexity of balancing all the roles we carry.

Everything I offer is centered around one core truth:
You are worthy of living, leading, and loving from your most aligned and expansive self.
And I’m here to support you every step of the way.

  • "The insights and details provided made my human design chart so easy for me to understand. I have attempted to read into this on my own in the past and always felt stuck when I attempted to interpret the gifts and understand the definitions. Nona gave me real and tangible tips for strengthening intuition, better understanding shadow and how to understand when things are in alignment. I will absolutely be getting readings for my kids too. Having extra tools to understand myself better in my roles as mother, partner, therapist and human feels very expansive."
