Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Calabasas, CA

My approach to clients is to see them both as individuals and also within the systems they operate in: familial, community, work-related, societal, or other.

I strive to support my clients in bringing to light their impact on others, and others’ impact on them while giving clients the skills to heal relational wounds and build healthier, meaningful connections. I work to help her clients connect with their values and find joy.

I attended San Diego State University for my undergraduate studies and received my masters in Social Work from Loma Linda University.
