Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
Early on, I knew I wanted to walk a path of service to humanity. Working as a therapist was the right avenue for that being that I am deeply interested in people, their life stories, and how we bring about change.
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I am warm, empathic and have a really good sense of humor. I know how hard it is to show up and discuss your innermost difficulties with a stranger. I've been doing this a long time and understand that pain looks different for everyone. I spend a good amount of time early on establishing rapport and getting a good sense of what is driving you to seek therapy at this time in your life. I collaborate with you to establish goals that we work towards in our sessions. I believe small incremental changes to daily thoughts and routines yields the best results over time and I work best with clients who are ready for those changes.

Work HistoryFor over 20 years, I've had a passion for making a positive difference in the lives of others. As a new clinician, I worked directly with youth involved in foster care and juvenile justice as well as their families helping them work through trauma and build the skills needed to manage symptoms and successfully reintegrate back into their communities. I've consulted with mental health clinics throughout Los Angeles County to improve the quality of service for those seeking outpatient care. I was selected by the US Department of Juvenile Justice to remedy the mental health findings identified in a settlement agreement and was tasked with establishing a quality assurance program and providing oversight to the mental health staff treating youth in confinement. After many years in administration and providing clinical supervision to other therapists, I returned to private practice focused on adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions and relationship difficulties. I am certified in a number of evidenced based practices, which I incorporate in my work to help clients build the skills they need to lead fulfilling and productive lives.
