I am a licensed clinical social worker in California, with nearly 20 years of experience working with diverse communities on a wide range of issues. I attended the University of Southern California for my dual masters in Social Work and Jewish Communal Service. I am also trained as a transformational life coach. I believe that self-exploration is an investment in you and your future. When we learn to pay attention to our thoughts and feelings with kindness and compassion, we gain insight and a true understanding of our authentic selves. We experience a sense of inner-peace, find deeper meaning, and become more nurturing to ourselves and others without judgment. My mission is to get to know the core of who you are and understand your inner experiences. Together we will explore your emotional state. I will listen and validate your feelings within a safe space with empathy. My intention is to help you set new goals and take steps towards achieving them. I will work with you to gain a true understanding of your strengths and help you restore your sense of clarity, direction, and creativity. I use different approaches in my work depending on the needs of my clients, including: client-centered, cognitive behavioral with psychodynamic perspective, mindfulness, and strength-based therapy.

Peaceful Greetings and Wellness! I am an Integrative Psychotherapist who is Licensed in California with well over a decade of experience working in various clinical and advocacy capacities as a Psychotherapist, Social Worker, Certified Mental Health Integrative Culinary Medicine Provider, Certified Yoga Instructor (RYT-200), Certified Trauma Informed Outreach Trainer, and Certified Peristeam (Vaginal steam) Facilitator in order to meet the many needs of children, families, and individuals alike. I became a Therapist because I too have experienced many types of trauma; something that overwhelms the nervous system and leaves the person unable to fully process the experience. Those overwhelming experiences that we've been unable to fully process have led to imbalances mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically, behaviorally, and biologically due to being unaddressed. In conjunction with traditional psychotherapy, my approach is holistic and body inclusive as it integrates somatic (body) awareness, culture, personal beliefs/spirituality, and nutritional protocols (gut health) in order to maximize the way we bring the body into balance. My counseling style is authentic, non-judgmental, collaborative, and empowering! I believe in creating a therapeutic environment that is Trauma Informed, supportive and self-illuminating so that we can shed light on sensitive areas that need nourishing. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs while welcoming your ongoing feedback. It is my calling to be a light guide and aid you in understanding yourself at your core. I will provide you tangible tools that are necessary for better functioning and optimal wellness. If you are ready to take steps towards healing, making peace, creating balance, and living your best life, I am here to support and empower you. You don't have to be great to start, but you must start to be great. YOU GOT THIS and I look forward to connecting with you!
