About

Hi, I received my MSW degree in 2016 from California State University of Los Angeles. Because I entered the therapy world as my first employment I was able to pass my exam and gain my LCSW license in 2019. I worked for a community based therapy organization for 2 1/2 years. I then became a long term care ombudsman which means I am a resident advocate for individuals in skilled nursing facilities and residential care facilities for the elderly, a job I have held for 4 1/2 years. I have continued working with a few private clients during that time. In our first session together, we will go over the information that has been given to me through intake and discuss what you want from therapy to make sure we are a good fit. We can then decide together on your first goal, and the steps to achieve it. One of our goals is to remove the obstacles that are blocking your path. Sometimes the individual doesn't realize what is standing in the way. I am all about talk therapy with some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy added to the mix. I have worked with individuals in therapy or by working with them to sort out problems in facilities for the past 7 years. My greatest strength is that I care a great deal - as long as I can help you. Sometimes we may find someone who isn't ready, thinks their issues are everyone else's fault and can't see past the garden gate. But if you are willing to make some changes in mind, spirit and actions, and work together, usually there is a solution. A perfect solution? Probably not. But perhaps the best solution.
