After working for the Los Angeles Department and Children Family Services for over 30 years and becoming licensed as a clinical social worker in 1998, I finally fulfilled my long-standing desire to open a private practice. I have extensive experience working with children, families and communities and am rewarded to share what I have learned over the years in assisting others to improve their lives. Along with my professional experience, my personal journey also significantly shapes and increases my therapeutic skills and abilities.
I am often reminded that each of us are the experts on our own needs and therefore work closely with individuals to clearly understand their story, current circumstances, and best path forward. I utilize an individualized, goal-oriented, holistic approach to therapy, ensuring interventions are uniquely and effectively tailored. Above all, I focus on developing a therapeutic relationship and assisting clients to heal, overcome challenges and achieve their goals as soon as possible.
