Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California, but also licensed in Oregon. I received my masters from California State University Bakersfield and have been licensed for more than five years. I have experience with kids, teens, and adults. I have worked in a Group Home, in Homeless Services, and in Forensics, so I have a varied experience. I am currently working on my AASECT sex therapist certification that will be completed by the end of 2025.
