NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

What is guaranteed in life is that it is ever changing and evolving and this can be challenging and overwhelming. It takes courage and strength to ask for help. My clinical practice is about meeting you where you are at, respecting boundaries encouraging you to explore your past while building hope for your future with no judgement. I spent 18 years in the medical field prior to making the decision to go into Social Work. I graduated with my MSW, from University of Southern California in 2016. I believe in providing a safe, non-judgmental space to share your experiences and have honest discussions. I work with individuals ages 18 and older. I specialize with the following populations substance use disorders, gambling, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, grief, anxiety, panic disorder, women’s issues, stress, post-depression, and major depressive disorder. I use combination of therapeutic approaches and modalities such as CBT, DBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. I believe that you already possess the road map to get to where you want to go you just need a little guidance. I look forward to working with you on your journey.
