About

My therapy approach is to build a relationship with my clients. My clients can trust me to share difficult emotions, feel safe enough to talk about things they are struggling with, and feel comfortable enough to know that I will not judge anything they do bring to therapy. While earning my education granted me the opportunity to become “book smart,” I have also found that my life experiences have played a significant role in why I enjoy my life and career to the extent to which I do. In addition to my current position at a local mental health facility, I have been in the social services/mental health field for quite some time. My specialty for several years was working with at-risk youth. For many years prior, I worked with Haven Hills and LAPD in a joint venture to provide domestic violence crisis intervention and advocacy to victims of domestic violence. I have also worked as an in-home therapeutic behavioral counselor. Some of my best memories come from the places and people I have enjoyed working with throughout their therapy.
