I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with experience across community mental health, school-based therapy, corrections, and trauma-focused private practice. I’ve spent the past two years doing full-time clinical work with children and families through county Medi-Cal programs and also ran a trauma therapy practice in Irvine. I’m trained in EMDR, TF-CBT, CBT, and DBT. I’m LGBTQ+ affirming and work with adults and adolescents via telehealth across California.
I use EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. I specialize in PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and adjustment difficulties, including work with clients from corrections and child welfare backgrounds. Sessions are focused and practical.
The first session is mostly me getting to know you. I’ll ask about what brought you in, what’s been going on, and what you’re hoping therapy helps with. You don’t need to have clear answers ready. I’ll also share how I work and make sure there’s time for your questions. By the end, we should both have a sense of whether we’re a good fit.
