About

Welcome. I am licensed in California with 10 years of professional work experience and a Doctor of Social Work. My background work involves working with anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, and difficulties with self-worth. I also have experience in helping clients with relationship and intimacy related issues, career difficulties and with coping with life changes. My experience population spans with a variety of cultures, including the LGBTQ community, and alternative lifestyles. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. By using a mix of psycho-dynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing, we will tailor your treatment plan and dialog to meet your unique, specific needs. This is your first steps to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life, which takes a huge amount of courage. I am here to support you in that process.
