About

My professional experience as a Medical Social Worker and Marriage Family Therapist; along with my personal experiences of loss and life transitions has improved my understanding of human experiences in adverse environments. The success of my clients, patients, and couples/families is reflected in my ability to think outside the box, be supportive when it comes to change and new ways of thinking, exploration of self-awareness, and the steps both I and the individual take together. Along with being a therapist, and medical social worker, I also have experience with domestic violence, PTSD, anxiety, depression, CBT Seeking Safety, severe psychiatric disabilities, integrating somatic psychotherapy with EMDR, attachment, art, and trauma based therapy. I am well versed in end of life and the planning that comes with it, such as, POLST, Letters of Closure, Eulogies, Advanced Directives and Simple Wills (California). I am trained in Prolonged Grief Therapy and currently finishing up training in Multidisciplinary Pediatric Palliative Care Training.
