Brief Introduction: I am a LCSW, with an MSW from USC. I provide evidence-based, trauma-informed psychotherapy—specializing in severe mental illness, dual diagnosis, and Veteran care. My approach emphasizes deep clinical engagement, collaboration across care teams, and compassionate support rooted in recovery-oriented and culturally responsive frameworks.
My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in evidence-based practices and a deep commitment to serving marginalized and complex populations. I emphasize collaboration, recovery-oriented care, and trauma-informed interventions, drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. With extensive experience supporting Veterans facing severe mental illness, dual diagnoses, and transitional challenges, I focus on empowering clients through compassionate, individualized care. I integrate systems-level coordination with direct clinical work to ensure holistic, accessible, and impactful support.
People can expect a thoughtful, collaborative, and supportive therapeutic experience grounded in evidence-based practices. I focus on helping individuals clarify goals, develop effective coping strategies, and build confidence in navigating life’s challenges. Through a compassionate and culturally responsive lens, I support people in managing stress, life transitions, and creating meaningful change.
