My training at UCLA School of Social Welfare, combined with nearly 30 years of experience in healthcare and social service settings, have created compassion, empathy, and solid clinical skills that I use to help people find a path toward growth and change. My approach is pragmatic and empathetic, using clinical skills and knowledge to help you discover a new way of relating to yourself, to others, and to your experiences. I can support you in the process of change, which most humans find uncomfortable and challenging even when we know it is necessary for growth.

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

The first session is a time to ask and answer questions about the process of therapy. We will explore your goals and take time to see if there is a good enough fit to work together. This stage of therapy is about building trust and connection. We can begin to craft a plan for what our work together will look like. I want my clients to know they are active co-creators of a change process.

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

I have a breadth of clinical experience and training that inform my work, which means I do not rely on a cookie cutter approach to therapy. I offer clinical skills and experience combined with a life well-lived that prepare me as a knowledgeable, caring, and nonjudgemental clinician who can help you discover ways to build a more satisfying life.
