About me

Life has a tendency to throw curveballs our way occasionally. And sometimes we need a little extra support getting through those difficult times. It can be tough to ask for help, especially when we are going through tough times. You can come here for a warm, nonjudgmental and safe place to explore and grown through difficult times. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I received my Master of Social Worker from USC. Most of my experience is in adult outpatient mental health. I also have years of experience working in an inpatient psychiatric hospital where I worked with adults and adolescents. I also worked on the medical/surgical/detox units . I also have experience working in Hospice care and at a school district. Therapy offers a safe place to tackle your symptoms, not yourself.
