I am a therapist with over 30 years of experience working with various client issues. I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, HIV, autism support, and family issues. My counseling and treatment approaches are unique and tailored to each individual. I come from a compassionate strength-based approach using a combination of cognitive-behavioral, problem-solving, and psychodynamic therapies. I also integrate spirituality/12-step models into my practice as appropriate.
My clinical focus tends to be mostly on depression, anxiety, family substance abuse/codependency, and HIV. I am dedicated to supporting individuals as they work through these challenges.
I began my journey in mental healthcare by obtaining my clinical hours for licensure from November 1992 to January 1995 at Enki La Puente Mental Health Center in La Puente, CA under the supervision of Michael Kennedy, LCSW. My motivation has always been a deep desire to help others navigate life's challenges and achieve greater well-being.
