Hello all and I am so glad you've sought out a therapist to help address your concerns. A little bit about myself, I'm a first generation college graduate and multi-ethnic and multi-lingual, have been in the field of social work for over 25 years.

I myself am involved in therapy, so I have "both sides of the chair", this perspective allows me to be compassionate and empathetic to your needs.

My clinical experience includes administration/management of programs with the public and private sector as well as delivery of direct clinical services to those most in need. I'm also a researcher and public speaker in the areas of stress and coping, unhoused population service delivery and work with specialized populations (transgendered, chronic mentally ill, prior incarcerated individuals). My clinical style utilizes a humanistic approach with an emphasis on the recovery model and trauma informed care. I've completed trainings in various modalities including; Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing and Enhancement. I work to address, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma and day to day management of life's stressors. I look forward to working with you in collaboration to address your concerns and move you to the next level of your life!
