I grew up in Southern California and received my BA from California State University, San Marcos in Sociology and Liberal Arts. I obtained my MSW from the University of Southern California in 2002 and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2008. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families in a variety of settings. My experience includes working with individuals, couples, and families. I have a strong foundation in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and substance use disorders.
I have extensive training in trauma informed treatment, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Dialectical Behavioral therapy, as well as Solution Focused therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Over my career, I have worked in adolescent and adult residential treatment centers, forensic settings, behavioral health and with legal and court settings.
I enjoy watching client's as they evolve through therapy as they begin to learn about themselves and begin to become more authentic and wholehearted.
