I received my master's degree from the University of Southern California in Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health.
I began my career serving diverse communities across Los Angeles County, working in community mental health centers, at the Department of Mental Health, and in specialized treatment programs.
Through these roles, I gained extensive experience in trauma recovery, substance use treatment, crisis intervention, and supporting individuals facing life’s most complex challenges.
With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in providing individual therapy for adults (18+).
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe healing happens through connection, compassion, and understanding. I partner with clients to explore patterns, build coping skills, and develop greater self-awareness in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with their values.
