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.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first appointment, we will have basic introductions if we have not done that previously. We will review your history and explore what has brought you to therapy. We will set some basic goals to get started.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am very easy going and easy to talk to. I am very empathetic, but also direct and straight forward.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with clients to help people be their best selves. I believe therapy is your time and I want to ensure you are getting what you need.
