Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. Over the past 20 years, I have developed a therapeutic approach that is humanistic, strength-based, and trauma-informed.
My approach
My approach to therapy is humanistic, strength-based, and trauma-informed. I believe that all people are capable of change and healing. Each of us possesses unique strengths and harbors courage that, when reclaimed, can provide a path to the hope, peace, and happiness that we deserve.
My focus
I specialize in treating complex trauma, chronic and severe mental illness, grief and loss, LGBTQ+. I am willing to see all adults and minors aged 13-17.
My communication style
I communicate with empathy, directness, and respect. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and validated. I tailor my approach to your unique needs, drawing upon my experience in trauma-informed care.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to mental healthcare included clinical hours for licensure from July 2009 to August 2014 at Victor Treatment Centers. I continued to provide services as an ASW from August 2014 to January 2024 at Stockton Children's Home and Harper Medical Group (CONREP) in Sacramento, CA
My goals for you
My goals for you are to facilitate positive change by exploring better emotional and social functioning to improve your feelings of satisfaction and overall the quality of your life. Psychotherapy helps clients live happier, healthier, and more productive lives.
