I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California for 14 years. Over my career as a therapist, I have assisted a variety of clients from children to older adults. My clinical concentrations are trauma, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and stage of life transitions. I strive to create a non-judgmental and supportive space for a client to feel safe to explore and express their difficulties. From here, I assist my client in clarifying her/his current needs, what has been helping, what additional skills and supports are needed, and how to best approach making change.

I collaborate with you to determine your goals for treatment. Your desires for the focus of our sessions may include removing blocks to personal growth, improving relationships with yourself and others, undoing past conditioning- especially related to trauma or adverse experiences, transforming shame, or increasing your understanding of mental illness, whether it's yours or someone you love. I also work with those with compassion fatigue and burn out, assisting my clients in recovering the joy and drive they once felt in their professional lives. Over the course of time I will check in to make sure progress or unforeseen issues are addressed.

I am passionate about the impact of spirituality in mental health therapy. As an attachment informed humanist LPCC, I consider the bio-psycho-social-spiritual/existential condition of the folks with whom I work. Empathy, acceptance, positive regard, and genuineness are characteristics I seek to cultivate in my practice. CBT and Motivational Interviewing are the primary evidence based methodologies I employ to be with people in their self-paced, goal oriented healing efforts. Those who want to examine the angst, anxiety, disquiet, and friction in their lives will find a fellow traveler in me.

Has life begun to feel like a complicated knot you are struggling to untie? My goal is to work with you to untie that knot that can form due to some of life's most difficult challenges. I have extensive experience working with trauma, grief and loss, relationship dynamics, major life transitions, anxiety and depression. My goal is to help you develop a better sense of wellbeing, acceptance and a renewed sense of meaning in your life. I frequently work with the LGBTQ community as well as members of the Latino community (hablo Español!). I also work with other therapists and mental health professionals seeking their own therapy.
