About me
I am licensed in California with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, & depression. I also have specialized experience in working with postpartum mothers struggling with mood disorder symptoms, and teaching skills to better cope with depression and anxiety. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
