About

My career in the helping professions started in 1997 at a residential program in San Francisco working with adults with substance use issues and co-occurring mental health disorders. This launched a long road of determination to attain a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work in 2008 and then a Master’s in Social Work in 2010. I obtained my Clinical License in 2015. Throughout my educational years and afterward, I worked with many different populations such as children, teens, TAY, former foster youth, homeless youth, adults with mental illness, homeless adults, and those arrested for alcohol and/or drug related offenses My treatment approach is one that is Client-Centered, Strengths-Based, and Humanistic. I utilize Motivational Interviewing to gain knowledge into my client’s perspective and objectives. I also practice various methodologies, catered to treat each person in an individual and holistic fashion. I believe that every person is an expert in their own life and that I act only as a guide and collaborator to help my clients reach their goals and enrich their lives.
