About Me
I'm a licensed therapist using EMDR and biblical principles to help people experience freedom and healing. I've been practicing for over 15 years and am passionate about seeing God transform people from the inside out.
Education & Experience
I got my bachelors from U.C.S.D. and my Master in Social Work from U.S.C. I also got my doctorate from Grand Canyon University where my dissertation was on EMDR and spirituality. Over the past 19+ years I have provided mental health services to individuals, groups, and families in settings such as community agencies, juvenile halls, prisons, schools, in-home, and substance abuse rehabilitation centers.
