Welcome! I am glad that you are here taking a step towards change. I appreciate the opportunity to introduce myself. I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than twenty years of experience. I graduated from the University of Southern California. I have worked in a wide range of areas supporting POC and the queer community. I have helped clients manage and cope with challenging emotional issues, life transitions, and relationship problems. I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

If this is your first time trying therapy, you will soon realize that you are simply having a conversation with a person that knows how to listen and wants to get to know you. I will help you share your concerns and identify areas that you believe need change.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I have an eclectic approach. My theoretical foundations are humanistic and cognitive-behavioral. I can help you cope and work through the feelings that are bringing you to counseling.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am a strong supporter of communities of color and minorities. I bring together the experience of working in forensics, HIV health, and the LGBTQ community.
