About

I am a licensed clinical social worker in both California and Illinois with over nine years of experience working as a therapist and life coach. I also have my doctorate in clinical psychology. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress management, life skill development, effective communication skills and conflict resolution, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, ADD/ADHD, and various additional areas. I have worked with clients throughout all life stages: from children in school settings, adolescents at colleges and universities, and adults in both the inpatient medical setting and in private practice, as well as correctional facilities. I also help individuals who have experienced traumatic life events. In addition to direct practice, I also supervise a team of mental health professionals providing care to mentally, physically, and developmentally impaired patients in an enhanced outpatient setting.
