About

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with people experiencing a wide variety of mental health challenges, including personality disorders, substance use, mood disturbances, suicidal ideation, LGBTQ issues, and cultural and family conflict. I’ve always been inspired and intrigued by the complexity of humans. As your therapist, I promise to meet you where you are- to be patient and present. I want to listen to your unique experiences and help guide you through tough life journeys that can expose and strengthen your inner self.
