About me

I am licensed in California with 16 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, and many other issues. I also have experience working with depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
