LCSW, 16 years of experience
Hey there! I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California, and have been working and mental health for over 15 years. I received my Masters of Social work from California State University, Sacramento. I believe in employing strength-based philosophies that help clients identify and focus on their internal strengths, to empower them in overcoming challenges, build resiliency and heal. I am a trained EMDR therapist, and a trauma specialist. I have a passion for helping individuals move through painful events and move to a place of healing and resiliency. In addition to trauma, I also specialize in mood disorders and addiction.
During our first session, we will assess the needs that have brought you to therapy, and create a blueprint for change moving forward.
For 15 years, I have taught skills to encourage an individual’s capacity of self-healing, resiliency, capacity for change, and internal growth.
I am interested in working with adults who are motivated for change and interested in building their best selves!
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be a powerful tool in your private practice to help clients process traumatic memories and reduce the symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used and evidence-based approach to help clients understand and change their thought patterns and behaviors.
I utilize strength-based practices by identifying and leveraging clients' inherent strengths and resources to empower them in overcoming challenges and achieving their therapy goals.
I teach clients to employ mindfulness techniques to help them stay present, manage stress, and develop greater self-awareness and emotional regulation.

She gives me hope that I am going to be ok. She knows what she is talking about addiction. Just a very carring person. She really wants to help make you better. Great personality. She doesn’t judge you. And very easy to talk to.
