Who I Work With

Are you feeling nervous, insecure and experiencing difficulty in your relationships?  Those who are overwhelmed with guilt and shame will feel comfortable opening up to me.  I specialize in supporting adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression and grief.  Our work together may include processing feelings of disappointment to improve communication and strengthen relationships.  Those individuals I work with will begin to explore how to better care for themselves and meet their own needs.  

My hope is that you feel connected and understood in our therapy journey.  Individuals will learn to be more accepting of themselves and others while understanding how to comfort and calm themselves.  I also desire to support clients to be able to communicate with more kindness and patience.

Qualifications:

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from California State University, Northridge, and I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years. My experience spans nonprofits, medical systems, government work, community organizations, treatment facilities and private practice. I hold active clinical licenses in both California (LCSW 89468) and Oregon (L12361), and I am certified in the Trauma Resiliency Model and TEAM-CBT Level 1, with plans to complete Level 3 by July 2025.

My broad background equips me to meet a wide range of client needs, from acute mental health challenges to deeper, long-term healing. I stay actively engaged in ongoing professional development and supervision to ensure that I am offering clients the most up-to-date, evidence-informed care available.
