About

I am a licensed clinical social worker currently licensed to practice in California and Oregon. I have many years of experience in social services, 5+ of which are in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of symptoms and concerns including depression, anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations, PTSD, addiction and personality disorders. I also helped many people who have experienced both physical and emotional traumas including domestic violence, assault, TBI, and sexual molestation.

My counseling style is client-centered, solution-focused and strengths-based. I believe in treating everyone with respect, compassion and unconditional positive regard. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels and believe in creating mental health awareness in our society. My approach combines psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), EMDR and Motivational Interviewing. I will tailor our treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change; If you are ready to take that step I am here to offer you support.

I look forward to working with you!
