Find a Therapist in California KL

Hello, I am excited to work with and help individuals on their Mental health journey. My focus is to create a safe space for individuals to collaborate and reflect upon. So, individuals can grow and develop appropriate skills to deal with complicated life challenges and/or situations.

I have worked with all age groups, individuals, couples, and families., depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, anger management, chronic pain, fears, trauma, grief/loss, military families, personal growth, and life transitions. I utilized an array of therapeutic interventions stemming from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic-based therapy, Strength-based therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Narrative therapy.

My  expertise  includes working as a hospice social worker who supported the emotional, psychological, and social wellness of end-of-life patients. I advocated to address the concerns and wishes of people in the later stages of their lives. 

I have experience navigating the school systems, IEP’s, and working with children with disabilities. My clinical rotation included serving a major metropolitan community at the capacity of mental health, chemical dependency, NICU, pediatrics, fetal demise, and underserved populations.

About me: I hold an Associate degree in accounting, a Bachelor of business administration, and a Master’s degree in Social Work. When I am not working with clients, I enjoy my family time and the happiest place on earth.  

I believe that taking care of your health and well-being while taking care of yourself gives you the power to lead the way to learning, skillset, growth, and gives you the chance for the initial transformation to occur.

I would be delighted and honored to have you join me on this journey of self-discovery, growth, education, and healing.
