I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a Master of Social Work from California State University in Los Angeles, and I am a Doctor of Social Work candidate with Tulane University’s School of Social Work. I trained with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, and I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, CBTi, and Internal Family Systems.

I truly believe that a successful therapeutic relationship happens when the therapist and client join and agree to work toward achieving goals together. Through the use of cognitive behavioral techniques, a strengths-based approach, dialectical behavioral techniques, and unconditional positive regard, we will focus our combined efforts to uncover connections, gain understanding, and learn new skills to manage from day to day while helping you to become a better and happier you.

In our first session, you can expect a genuinely warm and refreshing greeting from a real person. I will explain the therapeutic process and what is to be expected. We will discuss the results of any assessments. Then we will use the rest of the time exploring the reasons that have brought you to me.
